kill process by batchfile (remote)


I have developed a application that is running on computer A. I have a computer B with a running version of visual studio (where I designed the application).

What I got is, when I built my application on computer B, it deploys it to computer A (by a shared network folder.

now, the thing I want now is using the pre-built and post-built commands in visual studio to call a batchfile. The pre-built command batchfile needs to kill the application (if it is running) on the remote computer (computer A) i think this can be dont by processid, or processname. The post-built command batch file needs to start the "fresly" built app on the remote computer. but I dont't really know where to start,

How do i accomplish something like this?


Solution

  • You can achieve this using PsTools.

    PsKill and PsExec, respectively, are the tools you are looking for.
