start command line feature request

[swift20281]

I have an idea for the start command line. Could you add a new feature to make it possible to teminate an individual sandboxed program using the start command line, rather than having to teminate all of the programs running in a particular sandbox. I find it very useful.

You have TASKKILL for that, and it's already built into Windows.

[Guest10]

Personally, I have Task Killer sitting in my Windows tray area at all times.
One left-click brings up a list of programs and processes that can be killed. It's often easier than getting Windows Task Manager window to open.

[swift20281]

I can not use task kill because if I already have more than one of the same app running and I only want to teminate the one running in a particular sandbox. I cannot easy know which app is which in the task manger. I would like to be able to use batch files to speed this tedious task up so I need I a command to teminate a program running in a sandbox.

I also consider that batch files speed up thing very much. But it´s necessary to have the required command line features to do the necessary tasks.

I think this is a good feature request.

[tzuk]

You can use this batch script to kill a sandboxed program by name. It's a little slow but it gets the job done.

Code: Select all

@echo off
if %1x==x goto :usage
set BOXNAME=DefaultBox
if %2x==x goto :skipboxname
set BOXNAME=%2
:skipboxname
for /f "skip=1" %%p in ('"C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" /box:%BOXNAME% /listpids') do call :subproc1 %1 %%p
:end

:subproc1
if %2x==x exit /b
for /f "skip=3" %%i in ('tasklist /fi "pid eq %2"') do call :subproc2 %1 %2 %%i
exit /b

:subproc2
if not %1==%3 exit /b
echo Killing pid %2 process name %3
taskkill /pid %2 /f
exit /b

:usage
echo Usage: kill ProcessName [BoxName]
echo Example 1:  kill iexplore.exe
echo Example 2:  kill iexplore.exe TestBox

thanks for writting the scirpt. but I don't think it works, unless I am doing something wrong. I copied the scirpt and saved it as I batch file. I then put it in the windows/system32 directory I run internet explorer in one of my sandbox's and this is what I typed this into command prompt 'name of the scirpt" kill iexplore.exe "name of sandbox"' sandboxie start errors with this message 'invaild box name iexplore.exe/listpids and command prompt errors with this 'ERROR the search filter could not be recognized' any ideas

[Ruhe]

IE will be closed with

Code: Select all

E:\>kill iexplore.exe iexplorer
Killing pid 2372 process name iexplore.exe
SUCCESSFUL: The process PID 2372 was killed
ERROR: The search filter could not be recognized

(translated from german outputs)

sorry it does work the problem was when I saved the batch file I didn't call it kill I called it batch.bat. So when I run it it said the format for the command was 'kill process name [boxname]. What I did wrong was this I typed 'batch kill iexplore.exe iexplorer' because I didn't call the file kill and called it batch the command thought kill was the process to teminate and iexplore.exe was the sandbox it was running in. sorry again everyone and thanks tuzk for writting a great little script
