@ruby,

You can close the external progam knowing the Program ID or the Program Name.

Take a look of this:

https://forum.powerbasic.com/forum/user-to-user-discussions/powerbasic-for-windows/53972-close-external-application

If you does not know any about powerbasic, i could create a plugin for you.

@ruby

You can check this web page:

https://ss64.com/nt/net-service.html

This is a command you need (you can put on BAT file):

NET STOP Name_Of_Service_To_Stop

(but I think @daviddeargentina can create a plugin)

Hi @ruby

My plugin acFunctions has the actions that you are looking for:

acFileInUse "C:\Folder\Test.rtf" "[InUse]"
Detect if a file is opened by another app (e.g. True or False)

acGetExeName "C:\Folder\Test.rtf"
Get the exe name of a file (e.g. winword.exe)

acForceKillProcess "winword.exe"
Kill the process

See gif below.

The plugin has more than 90 actions and is shareware $45.00

Regards
