WIN32 identifying process

Question

Hello,

I have a process that is created on windows machine (Lets call it PRS). The amount can be different amount. The processes are created by a nother process (Manager) which is defined as a service. the Manager get instructions and reacts according to the request (for example creating a new PRS, stopping PRS etc'). When creating (using the MANAGER) a few applications PRSs evey one of the get also parameter of which ini file to create(every ini is uniq and has an ID that represent it). When creating 2 processes PRS (eveyone is passed uniq ini file) I can see them using the TASK-MANAGER with the same name.

My problem is that I need to write a script that gets the list of ID that represents the process and terminate it. I am writing it in java script. Is there a way of dicovering according the ID that I gave as parameter when I created the process which one I need to terminate ?

Answer 1

You can't recognize the PID of a process according to parameters you gave it. You can use another process for getting the PID of the process or using files for have that information.

Roman is right. Also it's not a good practice to terminate your process. Try to use interprocess communication. Here some links: msdn or codeproject or try google.
