greetings,

i have a situation where i need to be able to close NAS from code, considering that there might be other NAS running. they are started from command line (not from services). so i thought i could get current process id, and then kill it. but how?

any ideas?

thanks!

    I think you can do "net stop <NAS name>", but I have not tried this myself.

    denster: i think U cannot use NET STOP for something, what is not started as service.

    Well since NAS is usually installed as a service, that would work just fine wouldn't it :).

    lol :) so anyway, so far i've got this - i found this command line app which prints parent pids to stdout.. i can pipe that to file, if i use comspec to run it.. i can get comspec with ENVIR, but Navision wont let run apps via variable, only text :( and then i would need some way to actually kill that pid (though that could be done with app aswell)

    You can use the method described in this thread (using 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell) to execute an app without security warning: http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7446

    You know, you could MAKE it a service, and use Alain's example in the how-to section to control it. You shouldn't be starting anything from the command prompt in a production environment anyway.

    Actually, my example is for DB-services, but in fact, the idea can also be used for NAS-services.
