My apologies! kill on my system is provided by cygwin, which brings linux tools to windows. (plug for cygwin: it rocks being able to have a semblance of my linux bash shell on Windows). However, I know I've found tools online to do this. I think one of them was called 'process.exe'. Googling for 'windows kill process' seems to find some interesting leads. I guess if I were to pursue this from VFP I'd want to find the relevant win32 api functions to call, and not use external commandline applications for this. googling 'win32 api function enumerate process' yields this promising hit which promises to show how to do it from VB (which will give you the API functions to translate to VFP): http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173043(VS.80).aspx """ This sample demonstrates calling Win32 API functions to enumerate and control processes and windows, and to query and change system settings.
