IDEA: kill specified programs "harshly/silently" at shutdown

<< < (7/8) > >>

Stoic Joker:
Hm, bootvis? I thought it only traced bootup, not shutdown?

Its primary focus is the startup, true. But smoother shutdown are a common side effect of its adjustments.

PIDs aren't necessarily delegated sequentially...

You're absolutelly right. And in my experiment, they probably were not sequential. I wonder where could we get more data on how this works. Probably it just isn't that "certain".

mouser:
www.ghacks.net just posted something related which could be useful.
it's useful for configuring how long windows itself should wait before terminating unresponsive processes at shutdown.

f0dder:
All it takes is modifying a couple of registry keys, but I guess that GUI thing is faster.

Just be careful you don't set it too low, or you could end up killing a program that is shutting down properly, but just taking a bit long to do it - possibly because it has to save that file you had open in it...

skrommel:
 :) I needed this tool, too, so if you haven't found a solution yet, here's CloseKill.

Kills programs on system shutdown.
Example: CloseKill.exe calc.exe,notepad.exe
