How to Kill iexplore

Hi,

Can anybody give a code example on how to kill a process using the
"image name" (in windows task manager)?

is there something like Process.kill_image(image_name)?

Thanks!

No, because that would kill all processes with that name. You can do
this:

require 'sys/proctable'
require 'win32/process'
include Sys

ProcTable.ps do |process|
   Process.kill(1, process.pid) if process.caption == image_name
end

I recommend require'ing win32/process so you get the better
Process.kill version.

Regards,

Dan

PS - I just discovered that you'll need to add "require 'time'" to the
top of the proctable.rb (windows.rb) file. It's fixed in CVS.
