One possible way is to close the process with the process.Close(...) method and pass the needed timeout to it.


Another way is to use the WaitProperty method --




  Set p = Sys.Process("MyApp")

  p.Close

  

  If p.WaitProperty("Exists", False, 5000) Then

    Log.Message "The process was terminated."

  Else

    Log.Message "The process still exists."

  End If
