Killing a Server-Side App from ASP

A few weeks ago, I was trying to launch a server side application from ASP and Mark Sreeves posted the following code, which works great:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Public Function RunExe(ByVal Filename As String) As Long
On Error Resume Next

Shell Filename

'return the error if any
RunExe = Err.Number

End Function

---

How would I then kill this application? Does

Code:

---

kill Filename

---

exist? If not, is there a better way?

Thanks!

Kill does exist but be warned misused can cause some fun things.

the kill command deletes a file

it's not for killing a process

Can you

kill System

??

Someone in the forums was asking that once...

Would that kill your os?
