Subject: stop a Windows application from within a Perl script
Hi all,
I have a very simple script that pings the outside world and
reboots a router when it gets no answer to the ping anymore;
on top of that I need to stop and start again a windows application.
I know how to start the app and I know how to stop it if it
were unix -> to stop the app, just kill the associated process ...
How does one do this in Windows?
If you start the application using Win32::Process you would just kill it
using the pid (similar to unix) Win32::Process::KillProcess($pid)
But better would be to get the window handle and send a WM_CLOSE message
to it.
regards,
Reinhard
