Re: Killing remote process

As per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z3w4xdc9.aspx

This method returns an array. This makes sense because you may have more
than one process by a given name (i.e. iexplore)

Try this:
[System.Diagnostics.Process]::GetProcessesByName("testapp",$server) | %{$_.kill()}

k> I tried this syntax

k> $server="TESTSERVER"
k> $process=[System.Diagnostics.Process]
k> $process::GetProcessesByName("testapp",$server) | gm -member method
k> $process::GetProcessesByName("testapp",$server).Kill()
k> and got this error:
k> The first part worked and listed all available methods.
k> Method invocation failed because [System.Diagnostics.Process[]]
k> doesn't contain a method named 'Kill'.
k> At C:\Scripts\restartmip.ps1:4 char:53
k> + $process::GetProcessesByName("testapp",$server).Kill( <<<< )
k> Any ideas?
