I need to know how to shutdown a process instead of killing it.

I don't want to kill the process by using the terminate command. I want it to go through a normal shutdown.

Thanks for your quick response. What I am trying to do is instead of killing the process that is running I would like to find away using vbscript to have the process go through a normal shutdown. I don't want to use the terminate function because that kills the process. I hope I am clear at what I am looking for. Sorry if I am not I am trying to explain it without confusing myself.

Thanks in advance,

Caryma77

Doing what you want is very process dependant. For some processes, the application exposes an API that you can run code against to shut down the application in a nice safe fashion (i.e. MS Word). For others you would need to grab the application's window and use sendkeys to shut it down using the aplication's GUI. For still other applications, there is no window to grab and you have no choice but to simpl kill the process.
