No, I mean from a shell scipt such as a cmd file. Here is the logical things I want to do:<br />
<br />
close outlook<br />
close palm<br />
start backup process<br />
<br />
The only thing I don't know how to do is the close parts. I prefer to keep it simple as in a cmd shell script (batch file)

How do I exit a running program from a command prompt (cmd) in windows xp? I want to use the simplest way possible. I know I can kill the program, but I want to exit normally the program. An example is a scheduled backup script where I want to exit programs (such as outlook) before the program runs.<br />

Thanks!

How to exit a program from a command prompt

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
