Terminate Process Sample

[epolitakis@mobilefx.com]

I need to terminate a process prior to installation. I found result = System.TerminateProcess(); which also need result = System.EnumerateProcesses(); but the documentation on using them is not sufficient. For example, EnumerateProcesses returns a table but I can not figure out how to iterate it and find the ProcessID of the Executable I am looking for.

Has anyone used those commands in a script and if so, could you share some sample code?

-- With this function you can end (terminate) a process easily by just typing the name of the process in the function.

-- The function
function System.EndProcess(strProcess)
	strProcess = String.Lower(strProcess);
	tblProcesses = System.EnumerateProcesses();
	for i, strPath in pairs(tblProcesses) do
	    local strFile = String.SplitPath(strPath);
	    if (String.Lower(strFile.Filename..strFile.Extension)) == strProcess then
	        System.TerminateProcess(i);
	    end
	end
end

-- An example
System.EndProcess("itunes.exe")
