CloseApp 1

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application enables you to shut down applications using the command console. CloseApp is a simple executable program that runs in the command console. By using the easy-to-follow, case-sensitive syntax specified at launch, you can close applications, processes, and any Windows services. All you need to know is the name of the application or the Windows service. This program can be useful in shutting down programs that hang in operation and cannot be stopped using the Task Manager. Other than the shutdown function, CloseApp has no other features to add further substance to it. Although it is shareware, CloseApp has a continual nag feature--a message box that requests you to register the program--that is a real nuisance. Other than that, the program does what it claims to do. We recommend this simple shutdown program to all users.

Publisher's description

From Traction Software :

CloseApp was originally written to automatically close Acrobat after use when scripting from DOS .bat files, but CloseApp can be used for any Windows application or window. CloseApp enumerates through multiple windows and closes all matches & is very easy to use.
