Description

Requests graceful close of GUI processes on one approved connected client. Creates one tracked ProcessClose command. The client attempts to send main-window close messages and reports per-process whether the message was sent and whether each process exited after a brief check. Single-device only. This is not device.process.kill and does not hard-kill if close fails or is ignored. Processes without a main window usually cannot be closed this way. Partial names, partial paths, wildcards, regex, group close, /killafter, and process tree close are not implemented. Use device.process.kill where hard termination is required.

Syntax

device.process.close <deviceId|machineName> /pid <processId> | /name "processName" | /path "full executable path"
