Example of a "safer" method of closing all browsers. This is an alternative to terminating the process and you could replace .close() with .terminate() if desired.



//JScript


 closeBrowser('iexplore');


 closeBrowser('chrome');


 closeBrowser('firefox');



function closeBrowser(browsername){

 var myBrowsers = (new VBArray(Sys.FindAll('Name','*' + browsername + '*',1,true))).toArray();


 var closedBrowsers = 0;


 for (var c = 0;c < myBrowsers.length;c++){


  if (myBrowsers[0].Exists){


   myBrowsers[0].close();


   closedBrowsers++;


   BuiltIn.Delay(1000,'Waiting for browser to close...');


   }


  }


 if (closedBrowsers){


  closeBrowser(browsername);


  }


 }
