Scheduled Event ?

[Alex Anderson]

Hello Everyone,

Currently I'm running Windows 2000 server SP4 (with all accumulative
updates) and I have a schedule event schedule to happen at 12:00am every
day. I have the event pointing to a .cmd file that has the following
contained in it. kill -f aspnet_wp.exe My problem is, kill.exe accumulates
and it spikes my processor. It's my understanding that running a schedule
event, kill.exe would be remove from processes under Task Manager, would it
not? I have to manually kill the process. Is there something I need to add
or select when setting a schedule event like mine so that it kills the
process and kill.exe removes itself from the Task Manager?

Thank you
Alex Anderson

You might try something like this.

cscript mykill.vbs

-----------mykill.vbs--------------
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select " & _
"* from Win32_Process Where Name = 'aspnet_wp.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
Set fso = Nothing
Set objWMIService = Nothing
Set colProcessList = Nothing
