I've been trying cmd commands such as "taskkill" on Windows XP and apparently they don't exist.
I'd like to be able to close and open a program from the cmd because I need to connect to the Windows XP through a Telnet connection. Does anyone know how I can do this?
When using interactively, an important difference is that
taskill
without the/f
option is capable of sending WM_CLOSE to cleanly exit the program;tskill
goes straight for the kill. – user1686 – 2018-10-30T14:14:49.127I get the same message saying that tskill is not recognized as an internal or external command, etc. Maybe I need to enable something? Also, to do this, I would need the PID and a way to get that PID from the cmd, which I also don't know for Windows XP. – Natiya – 2018-10-30T15:31:19.213
@itd exactly what edition and versions of Windows XP are you using? Are they Home or Pro? Are they up to date with latest service packs installed? – Mokubai – 2018-10-30T15:37:08.250
@Mokubai it's Windows XP Embedded, version 2002, service pack 2... – Natiya – 2018-10-31T12:10:51.817
@itd that information should be in your question as it is crucial. IIRC XPe can be configured to leave out pretty much all unnecessary tools so all bets are off concerning what should be available. You might have to upload your own tools to do the job. – Mokubai – 2018-10-31T13:42:52.273
