Biztalk Service instance termination programatically

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to terminate the service instances of a particular Application. I am using WMI for it.
I am using Select * from MSBTS_ServiceInstance where AssemblyName Like 'ApplicationName%' to get the complete list of the serviceinstances for that application. Then I use the Terminate() function to terminate the instances.
Unfortunately this query does miss out some of the serviceinstances(in case if the instances are of the called orchestrations and messaging) so the termination of the serviceinstance  does not get completed. I tried using Microsoft.Biztalk.Operations
name space to achieve this task but I was unsuccessful.
 In a nutshell I want to achieve is that by providing the application name I can get a complete list of the service instances.
Is there a way to do it?
Am i missing something in the WMI query?
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Mandar Dharmadhikari.

Anyway here is reply..
Did you look into this WMI script
MSDN: WMI - Removing Suspended Service Instances
You can use this script as a reference for your requirement and may be if you need, you can update to your need.
 Also have a look into terminator tool. The above code works but officially it has been replace by
BizTalk Terminator tool. As per official statement:
“A tool which allows for common BizTalk problems to be addressed by scripts provided by the BizTalk team. Replaces terminate.vbs
with more functionality including the ability to suspend, resume and terminate by date range. Powershell script functionality provided for performance tuning. Integration with mbvcleanupscripts.xml from the messagebox viewer utility”
