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:

  1. Locate the process ID of an RTSS application by typing RtssKill at the command prompt.
  1. 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
