Vidyadhar,
I didn't respond earlier as I was pretty busy at work and this is a rather
detailed request. In addition this is, in my mind, not really Perl related.
That said, I'm stuck home under a few feet of snow tonight and can spend
some time on this for you.
The basic problem is that the two processes are owned by different
primaries. In order to do what you want to do, my first thought is to
impersonate the user's credentials. The big problem there is that you
probably don't have the user's password. My next thought is that since you
seem to be targeting a specific application, it may be easier to look at the
process list, rather than the windows on the desktop. Let's take a stab at
this approach... (opening Komodo)...
----------8<----------CODE---------->8----------
#!perl.exe
use strict;
use warnings;
# Included Modules
use Win32::Process;
use Win32::ToolHelp;
# Locate window by executable name
my $pID = 0;
my $iFlags = 0;
my $pname = "notepad.exe";
my( @Process ) = Win32::ToolHelp::SearchProcess($pname);
unless( Win32::Process::Open( $pID, $Process[1], $iFlags )) {
print "Win32::Process::Open => ".
Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError())."\n";
}
# Kill identified process
my $uExitCode = 0;
$pID->Kill( $uExitCode );
__END__
----------8<----------CODE---------->8----------
I compiled the above with PerlApp and then scheduled it with an AT command.
It killed the copy of notepad.exe running in my user process. It does seem
that $pname is case sensitive so be careful when recompiling this for your
target application. Hope that this helps you out...
