    I want to close down a background app (mapisp32) by using a batch file.

    I currently use a batch file to close services Gracefully on an Exchange server (unlike the GUI - the command line does not timeout) and need to close above mentioned app or the information store can take bloody ages to stop.

    Any Ideas ?

    (Mapisp32 is loaded automatically - it's used by the mail server to send reports and notifications)

    Download PSTools from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml

    [php]
    :Batch file to Kill process %1
    @if [%debug%]==[] @echo off
    if [%1]==[] goto listproc
    pslist>pslist.txt
    Find /i "%1"<pslist.txt>pslist.die
    if not [%debug%]==[] type pslist.die
    for /F "tokens=1-2,3*" %%i in (pslist.die) do echo pskill.exe %%j - to Kill process %%i
    Goto Endd


    :listproc
    pslist

    :endd
    [/php]
