Can you write VBS code also for closing every XY and XYcopy window after a delay?

Close or kill??

Close. There should be a way to focus a window and then send an Alt+F4, but never investigated further...

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM xyplorer.exe
taskkill /IM xycopy.exe

Or for vbscript something like (I don't think vbs has any native way to do it gracefully)

Code: Select all

sub killProcess(strProcessName)
    set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name='" & strProcessName & "'")
    if colProcesses.count <> 0 then
        for each objProcess in colProcesses
            objProcess.Terminate()
        next
    end if
end sub 

killProcess "xyplorer.exe"
killProcess "xycopy.exe"

Or I imagine you could use an AutoIt script exported out to an exe

    IF (get ("XYcopy_Pending")!=0){ 
    end 1==1, "Cannot update, XYcopy running."; 
    }

No, this is unknown.
