Nope that doesn't do it.. What I have is... One window open running a process. <br />
<br />
I open a second window and I'd like to kill the first window. The only way I can think to do it is to call the batch as a service and use a net stop argument but I was hoping to not have to do that.<br />
<br />
Any other ideas?<br />
<br />
Thank you for the input though

I was hoping to do this without having to modify the existing batch files but This answer is the closest.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a batch file that calls two other batchfiles called start_batch.bat<br />
<br />
<br />
start /min e:\somedir\some.bat<br />
<br />
start /min e:\otherdir\other.bat<br />
<br />
<br />
.....<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like a batchfile called stop_batch.bat<br />
<br />
??close e:\somedir\some.bat<br />
<br />
?close e:\otherdir\other.bat<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm having trouble finding the ??Close command that I can use.

I wish to close one batchfile window with another batch file in Windows Dos

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
