Killing child process of explorer.exe /eDOCS

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi all, we are working with an app called edocs which is opening HTML folders to be reviewed . currently I am trying to to handle exceptions and in case of any malfunction re-start the app . the app uses windows explorer.exe so when it starts the process name is explorer.exe in task-manager although the task name is eDOCS. so in short I am trying to kill a child process of explorer.exe is there any way to do this ? Thanks in advance

Hi Kiarash, Do a simple codestage and write the line: Process.GetProcessesByName(""process name"")(0).Kill() I hope it helps you.

Only create new codes stages if the feature does not already exist within the Blue Prism product or utility objects. Bespoke, difficult to support, code is something you should be trying to limit the use of. There is a Kill Process action within one of the certified utility objects (in the environment one I think).
