To make use of the script below, you need to know the name or ID of the process. Usually, the name of a process is its EXE's name. So, for Notepad, it's "notepad.exe" etc
If you wish to have a set script to kill a specific process then use this:
Code: Select all
run 'cmd /c TASKKILL /F /IM "[INSERT PROCESS NAME OR ID HERE]"';
so for explorer.exe it will be
Code: Select all
run 'cmd /c TASKKILL /F /IM "explorer.exe"';

You can usually delete you own posts while they are first posted, but only Don/admin can delete a post/thread once it has been replied to...zer0 was just asking you to do so as a fellow user, and he may not have known that limitation...I ran into it myself just this week...you can edit a post after reply and delete contents but that still leaves the thread there.
A second thread was never needed as once it has been replied to, even if in the wrong forum, it generally has to remain in the original location...and so when you created the duplicate, and serendipity answered that one, it got "locked in" there, as did this first one.

I don't think you can put all 3 in 1 line of run command. You need 3 separate ones, which you can combine into a single script effectively achieving the same result.

You should be able to combine them by separating them with "&&", but this has the side affect that if one fails all that follow are not performed.
Code: Select all
run 'cmd /c TASKKILL /F /IM "a.exe" && TASKKILL /F /IM "b.exe" && TASKKILL /F /IM "c.exe"';

This would all be a lot easier if you just posted your script and explained what the heck you were trying to do.
Frankly, all these small snippets give me the feeling that you're using the wrong tool for the job and would be better off asking someone to write a script in an appropriate language for what you want.

A simple Google search gives me this site which seems to explain it quite well:
http://commandwindows.com/taskkill.htm
It seems that English is not your native language which may be part of the problem here.
