Kill a windows process

How can i kill a windows process giving the executable name (eg: "acrord32.exe") ?
Is it possible to kill the process from an applet ?
thanks
roberto

I mean, not with standard Java, maybe with JNI by launching some native command with Runtime.exec()... look on an MS forum maybe...

Killing a windows process

Hi,
I am wondering if it possible to kill a windows process from Oracle forms? if so how can I do it?
Thanks

Hi Jibu, and Happy New Year!
I've figured out how to kill a program using the SendMessage API, by sending its parent window a WM_CLOSE message. This works fine, but as long as all client machines will be running XP, I believe I prefer the taskkill solution.
(For older OS'es, I believe Microsoft includes a kill utility with the Microsoft Resource Kit.)

Possible to manage Windows processes using Java

Hi,
I'm looking to develop a standalone application that will be able to kill certain Windows processes...is such a thing possible using Java? If not, could someone point me in the direction of a technology that can achieve this?
Thanks

How to stop a windows process?

How do I get hold of a running process/program under WindowsXP?
How do I stop this process?
# Johannes

You should use the Java Native Interface and write some C code with the Win32 API. I don't think there is another way. You should search the MSDN for code samples for killing windows processes. And if you go ahead and do what i just suggested, then i wish you good luck and be patient!

How to kill a system process from java code.

Hi,
i need to kill or remove windows system process like cmd.exe from java code.
like removing it from end process in task mgr.
i tried below code but its not removed.
is there a better way we can do this.
killing a system process from java code will create any issues?
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   String[] cmd = { "cmd.exe" };
   Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
   p.destroy();
any suggestions or ideas are really appreciated.
thanks.

Hi jtahlborn, mohan
yes the process is created from my java code.
in my code iam creating a process like below and if it is running for a long i need to kill it from java.
For that " Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /PID " + 7408); " is working fine.
7408 is my process id in taskmgr created from java and iam manually passing the PID it to kill it.
But i need to get the PID from java code.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Sample Code:
public static void main(String args[])
        try {
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c","start"});
          Field f = process.getClass().getDeclaredField( "handle");
          f.setAccessible( true);
          long procHandle = f.getLong( process);
          System.out.println( "prochandle: " + procHandle );
          //Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /PID " + procHandle);
        } catch( Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();

Kill a suspended process

According to process explorer a 32 bit process is in suspended state. Its parent is "non-existent". When I try to forcefully kill it I get a message that it currently is not executed. How do I kill this process?
C:\WINDOWS\system32>taskkill -pid 8152
ERROR: The process with PID 8152 could not be terminated.
Reason: This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /F option).
C:\WINDOWS\system32>taskkill -f -pid 8152
ERROR: The process with PID 8152 could not be terminated.
Reason: Deze taak wordt niet uitgevoerd op dit moment.

Hi,
You should kill child process too if any spawned to kill successfully your process:
taskkill /pid 8152 /T /F
/T = kills child process
/F = forceful termination of your process

Firefox crashes once a day appears to be connected to npviewer. I must kill all npviewer processes after crashing before restarting firefox. What is this?

I am using linux, CentOS release 5.10, and firefox 24.8. This has been occurring for various release of firefox for the past 2 years. All of firefox crashes replacing the window with many small icons associated with npviewer processes. I cannot restart firefox until the npviewer processes are all killed. As I kill each npviewer process, a npviewer icon also dies. The number of npviewer icons varies.
I use gkrellrm to monitor the system bottle necks. Gkrellm indicates a sudden jump to 100% activity on eth0 at the time of the crash. The crash does not seem to be linked to a particular website.
I would appreciate any help?

Apparently, that file is a resource hog used with Flash. You could use plugins click-to-play to control plugins. The extension Click to Play Per Element can switch the control of plugins back to per item instead of per site.

Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

Hello,
Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
Their are no apparent viruses detected.
Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
System is Windows 7 (64bit).

well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
is all the rest of the disk space)
what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

How to kill Forms Runaway Process using 95% CPU and running for 2 hours.

We had a situation at E-Business Suite customer (using Oracle VM server) where some of Form processes were not being cleared by form timeout settings automatically.
Also when user exits the form session from front end, the linux form process (PID) and DB session did not exit properly, so they got hung.
They were spiking CPU and memory usage and causing e-business suite to perform slowely and ultimately causing VM host to reboot the production VM guest (running on Linux).
We could see the form processes (PIDs) using almost 100% cpu with "top" command and running for a long time.
Also we verified those Form Sessions did not exist in the application itself.
ie. Using from Grid Control -> OAM-> Site Map -> Monitoring (tab) -> "Form Sessions".
It means that we could safely kill that form process from Linux using "kill -9 <PID>" command.
But that required a continuous monitoring and manual DBA intervention as customer is 24x7 customer.
So, I wrote a shell script to do the following;
•     Cron job runs every half an hour 7 days a week which calls this shell script.
•     Shell script runs and tries to find "top two" f60webmx processes (form sessions) using over 95% cpu with 2 minutes interval.
•     If no process is found or CPU% is less than 95%, it exits and does nothing.
•     If top process is found, it searches for its DB session using apps login (with hidden apps password file - /home/applmgr/.pwd).
a.     If DB session is NOT found (which means form process is hung), it kills the process from unix and emails results to <[email protected]>
b.     If DB session is found, it waits for 2 hours so that form process times automatically via form session timeout setting.
It also emails the SQL to check the DB session for that form process.
c.     If DB session is found and it does not timeout after 2 hours,
it kills the process from unix (which in turn kills the DB session). Output is emailed.
This are the files required for this;
1. Cron job which calls the shell script looks like this;
# Kill form runaway process, using over 95% cpu having no DB session or DB session for > 2hrs
00,30 * * * * /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh 2>&1
2. SQL that this script calls is /home/applmgr/frm_runaway.sql and looks like;
set head off
set verify off
set feedback off
set pagesize 0
define form_client_PID = &1
select count(*) from v$session s , v$process p, FND_FORM_SESSIONS_V f where S.AUDSID=f.audsid and p.addr=s.paddr and s.process='&form_client_PID';
3. Actual shell script is /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh and looks like;

If you have the same problem with some other unix and DB processes, the script can be easily modified and used.
But use this with thorough testing first (by commenting out <kill -9 $PID1> lines.
Good luck.

How to kill an instance process in BPM studio 6.0

Hi i'm Fabio.
I'm working on BPM Studio 6.0 and i need to complete a task.
I have an instance id process, and i need to create a new process in order to kill this istance id.
I read how to create a PAPI client (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/papi/index.html?t=modules/papi/c_Writing_Your_First_Java_PAPI_Program.html) but it doesn't work for my purpose.
First of all, i understood that i have to follow these step:
* Import the required libraries.
* Create a process service.
* Create a process service session.
* Perform operations with PAPI.
* Close the process service.
Now, i'm working on my xpdl file and i'm using the Standard Module "Fuego" and my plan is to create a process servcie, a process service session and then operate with PAPI.
But using the PAPI module include in the BPM studio 6.0 i'm no able to load the library for the session import fuego.papi.ProcessServiceSession;
so i'm worng something. Could you tell me how can menage this problem? Really do i need a session? Is possible to abort an istance process in BPM studio or i need to load my ear project in Enterprise environment and then kill my instance process? Thanks, regards Fabio.

Thanks Dan, i read your suggestion but my boss was to implement a different solution:

I understood that tha activity id's format is not valid, but i obtained it just using the following function: instance.getActivityId()
Are you abel to give me some suggestion? Is it good this method to kill instance?
Thanks a lot, regard Fabio.

Killing a sub process from it's parent process

does any one know if ther's a way of killing a sub process from it's parent process?

There are a few ways to do this depending on how the subprocess was invoked and if you are inside the parent work item instance or if you are using PAPI.
If you are not using PAPI, here's how you could abort the child work item instances spawned by a parent process's work item instance.
Asynchronously Spawned Children
If a child process was invoked using an asynchronous Process Creation activity, the work item instance in the parent has a predefined hash table variable called "children". Downstream of the parent's Process Creation activity (called "SpawnChildren" in the PBL logic below), you can get the child's instance id using the children hash table and use this to send a notification to a Message Wait activty in the spawned child process instance using logic like this:
send Notification
        using instanceId = children["SpawnChildren"],
              activityName = "TerminateChild",
              parameters = nullThe Message Wait activity needs to have its "Allows Interrupt" property checked in the child process. As you add this Message Wait activity (called "terminateChild" in the example above) make it an orphan with no transitions in or out initially. Once notified by the parent process, it still needs to be aborted so add a new Automatic activity in the child with this logic:
action = ABORTFinally, add a transition from the Message Wait activity in the child subprocess to the Automatic activity.
Synchronously Spawned Children
If all you know is the parent work item instance's id and the child subprocess was invoked using a synchronous SubFlow activity, you could send a notification to a Message Wait activity that has it's "Allows Interrupt" property checked in the parent. If the Message Wait activity flows to an Automatic activity, you could use logic like this to kill the child subprocess work item instances synchrously spawned by the parent:
for each ch in ProcessInstance.children do
    send Notification
        using instanceId = ch,
              activityName = "TerminateChild",
              parameters = null
end
action = SKIPSince the parent's instance was stuck in the Subflow activity, you'd need to send a notification to the parent's Message Wait activity in the parent process.

the local GPO, the two services were in Disabled mode, but we could set them to Manual and start them. The network GPOs would reset them at random every few hours, but again we could reset them. After creating the local GPO, the WPAS is set to
Manual and will not start at all with the Title errors being generated. Administrator previously completed successful GPO mods in WinSvr2003. Is there a different way of doing GPOs in WinSvr2008R2? I cannot provide logs or further details
other than the above. Any ideas would be helpful.

Then you should adjust your "network" GPOs which we usually call "domain
gpos"...

Seems you screwed up the service account or service security or
something like that...

To Kill Parent / Child process

Hi ,
I'm facing problem with killing a process. I'm using "kill -9 <ppid>"(ppid - parent process id) command to kill the process, this command kills the parent process but the associated child process is not killed.
I'm new to this Solaris, and my question is
Do killing the Parent process internally kills the child process too? if the child process is taking time, how to ensure that the child process is killed before killing the Parent process.
Thanks in advance for your response.

Do killing the Parent process internally kills the child process too?Hello.
If the parent process ends (does not care if regular exit or kill) it sends a signal to all its child processes. This is equal to "kill -xxx <child_pid>" (sorry that I do not know the number "xxx" by now).
By default this signal will kill the child process but it is a signal that can be caught or ignored. This means the child process can tell the operating system that it does not wish to be killed when the parent is killed, the parent exits or an explicit "kill -xxx" is sent. (Only two signals cannot be caught or ignored: SIGKILL and one that pauses the process.)

Installation Error - Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and WWW Publi

Hi all,
I am a newbie to UPK..
Just tried installing UPK Developer Server + Client on my local machine, and hit upon the following error that I have no idea of !!
Service status check
Setup cannot determine if Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed on the computer.
Confirm that Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed and running on the computer.
Please select another configuration.
OK
I am using Win 7 Ultimate.. 32 bit.. ran the Installer with Administrator privileges already !!
Any help from you, in case you have the solution, would be highly appreciated.. :)
Besties..

Hi Sahil,
Couple of things here - The server component on UPK can only be installed on Windows Server 2003 or 2008 - so it seems as if you are choosing the incorrect installation option when running the setup. There are normally a few options when you run the setup for UPK - these include the following:
1. Developer Client
2. Developer Server
3. Developer Server and Client
4. Developer Single User
5. Knowledge Center
You should be selecting option 4 - Developer Single user. This will install all binaries required (including the database) to your local machine. This option is not used as a multi-user environment, but rather for sole use on your PC/laptop. If you intend on installing on a multi-user environment, you will need to review the Tech Specs for UPK to ensure that you meet the Hardware and Software requirements.
The errors you are receiving about WAS is related to IIS. You need to ensure that the role for IIS is installed on your machine - The webserver component of UPK utilises IIS.
Hope this all helps.
Regards,
Greig
