KillApp - Automatic Application Killer version 1.0 Copyright (c) 1996 Douglas Zimmer - dzimmer@digex.net KillApp is a small app that I wrote to take care of a need of mine and I decided to distribute it as Freeware, in case anyone else has the need for such a utility. Basically, it is a utility that you run in the background that will kill any specified application after a certain amount of time. If you find it useful and have suggestions, please let me know. NOTE: Due to the way KillApp terminates other applications, it is possible to suffer some loss of precious resources. If you would like the use of this utility but find that it does cost you resources, let me know, I'll see what I can do. Usage: killapp /f:appname [/t:minutes] [/i:seconds] [/d] /f:appname - This is a required parameter. 'appname' is any unique, one word, part of the task name. You can get this information by bringing up the task list: Ctrl-Esc for Windows 3.x Ctrl-Alt-Del for Windows 95 /t:minutes - Optional parameter specifying how long the application should be able to run. The default is 15 minutes. /i:seconds - Optional parameter specifying how often KillApp should check to see if the app specified is running. The default is to check every 15 seconds. /d A debug parameter. This is used to confirm KillApp's functioning. You will see three pieces of information at the bottom of the dialog box. First is the /t: parameter, second is the /i: parameter, third is an indication of whether or not KillApp detects your app as currently running.
