This scheduled task type allows terminating process.
Process file name
Name of the process to be killed. You can specify either full path to the executable file
of the process, or executable file name without path. Wildcards * and ? are supported
for filenames.
User name whose processes may be killed
Only processes running in the security context of the selected user will be killed. If you
want to kill processes running under current user context, leave this field blank. You
can also specify * to kill processes from all users.
Restore minimized window before closing
When you are killing an application that has some unsaved data, it tries to display a
prompt for confirmation similar to this:
Which causes the application's button on the taskbar to blink. When the option is
selected, the application window will be restored, and the prompt for saving unsaved
data will be sent to foreground.
Kill process without giving it chance to save data
If this option is selected, Advanced Task Scheduler will kill the process without giving
it a chance to save data. If the option is not selected, Advanced Task Scheduler will
send window the same message as Windows sends when user clicks the
 button on
the window title.
Advanced Task Scheduler can terminate only those processes, which have their own
windows. If a process does not have its own window, it can be terminated only when
the option Kill process without giving it chance to save data is selected.
IMPORTANT:
USE CAREFULLY THE KILL PROCESS FUNCTION. BE SURE THAT BEFORE USING THIS FUNCTION KILLING PROCESS HAS NO UNSAVED INFORMATION. THE PROCESS WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SAVE ITS STATE OR DATA BEFORE IT IS TERMINATED.
ADVANCED TASK SCHEDULER WILL NOT ASK YOU TO CONFIRM THE PROCESS KILLING.
List all found processes to the log file
Save list of all found processes to the log file.
Returning codes
