Batch-File Blues..

Here's my dilemma. In order to understand it better let me just tell you what I want the result of the task to be:

Kill all processes EXCEPT the ones I tell you not to kill.

I wan't to use the pslist & pskill utilities to accomplish this task but using a batch file to automate the procedure. Basically I want to somehow parse the output of pslist.exe and feed it to the pskill.exe utility in such a way that I can terminate all the processes in memory EXCEPT a few predefined ones such as "svchost.exe" obviously. Get it? Is this possible to do in a simple batch file or will this shiznit require some more thought?

Please let me know if you can help. Much appreciated.

 

I don't think a batch file is capable of parsing the list. Not unless you can somehow generate just the process numbers. But then I"m not sure how you'd plan to identify what not to kill.

I think you'd need to write a real program to accomplish this. It's just a little over what a batch file can do.

 

use this command

net stop {Service Name Here}

so sometin like

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Echo On

Echo "this Script will kill Desired processes"

net stop {Service Name Here #1}
net stop {Service Name Here #2}
net stop {Service Name Here #3}

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

etc ,

 

help, the whole question here is on how to parse the file to create a batch file like this, not write one manually. He's asking for it to kill any processes which is currently running besides from predetermined ones. Not kill predetermined processes, which is what that would do.
