Shutdown Software with 3rd Party Software?

[Kardon Coupé]

Dear All,

Does anybody know of any (preferably freeware) 3rd party software (or even a
command built into Windows 2000) that on a scheduled event, force a program
to end.

That way I can schedule a piece of software to start when I want (using the
built in scheduler) and also force it to close when I want...

Is this at all possible?

Regards.
Paul.

You can use any number of ways to kill it but not very graceful. You might
give this a go.

Yup, seems to work, unfortunatley it have to use "KillProcess" to get the
program to close (azureus) as WinClose and WinKill don't seem to work, just
means it comes up with an error message on srtatup saying... "You program
was not shut down properly, lar der dar, etc"

But generally it does what I need it do, thanks for the advice.

Regards.
