Question

We’ve got issues with our program potentially hanging in certain situations, is there a way to search and destroy your own program with windows calls without using task manager. It probably wouldn’t make sense to include this in the program itself, but as a bundled thing no one would see.

What’s the best way to go about doing this, how deep do I need to dig to stop my program and how shallow should I keep to make sure I don’t crash the OS?

Answer 1

You could create a .bat file and put a Taskkill command in it to forcefully terminate your application. The command would look something like this:

taskkill /f /im notepad.exe
