Setting Up Task Scheduler To STOP a program.

[JigPu]

Do any of you guys know how to set up task scheduer to stop a program at a specific time? I've been thinking about this for a while, and have been trying to come up with some way to close SETI monthly so Defrag can do it's thing without the HD being accessed every minute.

I don't know if a command to close a program exists, but I was thinking that if you could use a command in MBM to force the system to shutdown using rundll32 you might be able to force a program to close.

It dosen't have to close with Task Scheduler, just anyway to automate the closing of SETI for a few hours.

i would guess you could script it out by pid or batch the At or kill command and run that from the scheduler

here is a free program that will do it from the scheduler, just follow the instructions from the readme. it does give a ping to the distri site whenever you fire it up,which i dont like, but will do just what u need

hope this helps
