Creating a program that can end and restart processes?
Hi guys,
I'm new to programming myself but am willing to take the time to learn how to do what's needed. I've had to learn various code languages for other purposes in my time online, so I don't necessarily need my hand held through the entire process so much as a point in the right direction.
I work in cell phone repair and I want to create a program that will make my job easier - I once had a similar program years ago that I used, also in cell phone repair but in a different place, that had been created by someone else.
It doesn't need any kind of user interface - the program I used years ago had an automated dos prompt.
It just needs to end the processes:
iTunes.exe
iTunesHelper.exe
iPodService.exe
and then restart iTunes.exe.
at which point it should close itself although it's not the end of the world if I have to close it manually. As long as it does the above it's functional in my eyes.
My main problem is I'm not sure where to start other than what I need it to do. I'll read whatever programming language books as I have to! :) Thanks for any advice.
