RtssKill Overview
Use RtssKill to forcibly terminate a particular RTSS process.
To be able to kill an RTSS application with RtssKill, the user must be a member of either the wRTOSUsers group or the wRTOSAdministrators group.
Note: Environment variables are not automatically expanded.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you gracefully stop a RTSS process rather than terminate it. When a process is terminated, internal objects may not be cleaned up correctly, which may result in an unstable subsystem state. You should only terminate a process as a last resort.
To terminate an RTSS process:
- Locate the process ID of an RTSS application by typing RtssKill at the command prompt.
- Type the following at the command prompt:
RtssKill [/b] process_number
/b is an optional flag that unregisters a boot-time process, causing the program to no longer start automatically at boot time.
process_number is the process slot number where the RTSS application is loaded.
Examples
To terminate the RTSS process with an ID of 1005, type:
RtssKill 1005
To terminate the RTSS TCP/IP Stack process with an ID of 1003, type:
RtssKill 1003 /force
