Does any long term forum member still have a copy of appclose?

I recall seeing references to this on the old forum in 2001-2003.

This, and a companion utility "appstart" were made available by MA Schneider. Unfortunately, the old link to that site is, not unsurprisingly, no longer working.

I can't find the copy I was sure I files, so, if anyone has a copy, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Hi Ray

I have most of them, but unfortunately not that one.
Here's a link to a good substitute.

Works great. Just use the window title or part of it as
a parameter.

Thanks Chris

I will try that one and see how it goes.

BTW, I checked your site before I posted because I thought I remembered a listing there.

If others are interested, this is what I have tried so far:

1. I've tried taskkill.exe which is excellent, but which is only available with Win XP Pro, so not that great for general distribution

2. Pskill.exe seems to work with most OS, but might require a licence for distribution, and as yet, I haven't been able to get a response about this.

3. I received this code from a nerd group I frequent. Untested as yet, but looks hopeful

for /f "tokens=2 skip=3" %%n in ('tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq program2.exe"') do set Task=%%n

Ray,

I've attached a copy of appclose. I hope Gerhard don't mind me posting it.

Thanks Leo.
