taskkill

[supertechhawaii]

Aloha,

I have been trying to create a taskkill script. Can someone please take a look at it and tell me what is wrong with it

taskkill /F /FI "username eq %username% ne /im explorer.exe

Thanks,

taskkill /F /FI "username eq %username%" /FI "IMAGENAME ne explorer.exe"

missing quotes (probably just left off the posting), and it read everything after username as an argument towards that filter.

Aloha iamtheky,

Is it posible to setup 2 filters (/FI) in the same statement?

taskkill /F /FI "username eq %username%" /FI "IMAGENAME ne explorer.exe" /FI "IMAGENAME ne cmd.exe"

I do not want my cmd prompt to be killed when I run my taskkill. I have several more steps to run after the taskkill is finished.

Thanks,

Brian

taskkill /F /FI "username eq %username%" /FI "IMAGENAME ne explorer.exe" /FI "IMAGENAME ne cmd.exe" /FI "IMAGENAME taskkill.exe"

add the taskkill to the exempt list as well if you are echoing, otherwise they see the ERROR: for the PID showing that taskkill cant kill itself.

Aloha iamtheky,

Thanks for you help... however, for some reason, I get an error:

ERROR: The search filter cannot be recognized.

Does the script need to say:

taskkill /F /FI "username eq %username%" /FI "IMAGENAME ne explorer.exe" /FI "IMAGENAME ne cmd.exe" /FI "IMAGENAME NE taskkill.exe"

i suppose an operator would help the cause, glad you are making progress. mahalo.
