Close app before update it

[kigor]

Hello,
it is possible to close app before update it?
For example, if Mozilla Firefox is open and I send remote deplayment it will install new version, but old one will stay.
Of course, I can ever reboot PC, but will be more simple just send command to close app like Firefox and Thunderbird when I see a problem with “double” install app.
Btw I am looking solution to do this two action with task scheduler and when detecting target computer is online

You can create a custom remote command in BatchPatch ( how-to-hard-code-your-own-custom-commands-in-the-batchpatch-actions-menu ) with the following syntax:

taskkill /IM notepad.exe

Then create a job queue that executes this remote command in the step before your deployment is executed. Then when you execute the job queue it will first run the taskkill command to kill your app (maybe firefox.exe or whatever), and then it will run the deployment.

I hope this helps.
