Killing a previous deploy's process for .NET Core

I'm trying to set up deployment for my .Net Core console application using Octopus Deploy. My original idea was to kill an old version's process by name before launching a new version but the problems is all the .Net Core processes are called "dotnet"... Is there a way to kill a .Net Core process by the name of dll?

Solution

  • Use PowerShell:

    $process = Get-Process | where {$_.Name -eq 'dotnet' -and $_.modules.ModuleName -eq 'test.dll'}
if ($process) {
    $process | Stop-Process -Force
}
