Pause and exit a program

(imported topic written by ken@gracenote91)

Looked in Action PDF and could not find my answer…

I am using a custom BigFix task to install a piece of windows software.

Long story short… after doing the install, I need to run the newly installed EXE, wait for perhaps 30 seconds while it does some house keeping and then exit the program.

I can figure out how to install the software

I can figure out how to run the exe.

What I can not see are the bigfix actions to “wait 30 seconds” and then to stop/exit that software I that I just ran.

TIA

Ken

thanks… that takes care of the pause…

but how do you do the exit/kill process ?

(imported comment written by NoahSalzman)

There is no Action Script command to kill a process in Windows. You need to do something

like this

. In short:

waithidden taskkill <some taskkill arguments> process_name.exe

Here is a

Windows XP taskkill reference
