Site cleanup: kill.exe and taskkill.exe

(imported topic written by BenKus)

Hey guys,

In an ongoing effort to cleanup some of the kruft that has built-up over the years in our Fixlet sites, we are making a couple of small changes. We don’t expect that these will affect anyone, but just wanted to let anyone know in case they were using them in their custom Fixlets.

taskkill.exe:

This file was in a couple of Fixlet sites (including BES Support). The file will continue to be there so you can continue to use it, but it has been changed to reference the local operating system’s copy of taskkill.exe in the system folder (for Windows systems). The file is also smaller now.

kill.exe:

This file was in a couple of Fixlet sites (including BES Support). The file has been updated to make it smaller and support some more operating systems. Generally we expect that people who want to reference this file in Fixlet content (which is fairly rare) should use taskkill.exe, but since this file has been in the site for a long time, we are keeping it around just-in-case someone was using it.

Again, we expect that everything should continue working the same way as before and no one will notice we made a change. But in the spirit of keeping everyone up-to-date on changes, we wanted to let you know that these are different.

If you see any issues in this area, let us know.

Thanks!

Ben

Hate to zombify this old message… But, we’re seeing some sporadic reports of SEP 14.3 RU2 having a ML/heuristics hit on taskkill.exe in the support site.
