Hi,

Well, find the command that kill the process in windows and use 'EXECUTE' from CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class.

Best regards,

Guillaume

For Windows XP, a simple command is :

taskkill /IM <name_of_the_process>

For instance: taskkill /IM notepad.exe

Well, the most ABAP I can think of is this :

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
  EXPORTING
    application            = 'taskkill'
    parameter              = '/IM notepad.exe'
  EXCEPTIONS
    cntl_error             = 1
    error_no_gui           = 2
    bad_parameter          = 3
    file_not_found         = 4
    path_not_found         = 5
    file_extension_unknown = 6
    error_execute_failed   = 7
    synchronous_failed     = 8
    not_supported_by_gui   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.

Honestly, I don't SAP has developed this kind of tool because :

- it depends from Windows version to another

- it deals with low-level aspects (process management should be devoted to OS alone)

Best regards,

Guillaume
