Terminate Window Application Step

Brief description

This step kills the window applications that you define.

Step Information

Step Name (Not required)– the custom name of the process step that labels the editor’s process step box

Input Parameters

Processes to terminate (Required) - name of the process or processes you want to terminate. Separate multiple names with a semicolon, without spaces.

Additional comments

The program name must be the exact name of the process. You can check the name in cmd:

  • process what you want to kill must be running
  • write "tasklist" in cmd and check the exact name of the process
  • name is case-insensitive
  • use name without ".exe" (for example, if you open Notepad app, in tasklist you will see "Notepad.exe" so you will write down "Notepad" as Process name)

 

for example:

If you have opened the following applications: Snipping Tool, Chrome browser and Word, the process names in cmd will be:

 

if you want to close :

  • Chrome browser (use process name chrome)
  • Word (use process name WINWORD)
  • Snipping Tool (use process name SnippingTool)

separate multiple names with a semicolon, without spaces: chrome;WINWORD;SnippingTool
