    Sometimes if a previous instance is stuck, running TestExecute again will start  a new instance and you can end up with multiple instances

     

    Try a powershell script as its more reliable and powerful, and gives you more control.

     

    Script should search for all running instances of TestExecute, Kill all instances and then verify that no more instances are running.

Hi guys,

Finally I used this Powershell script :

 

$testexecute = Get-Process testexecute -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($testexecute) {
  if (!$testexecute.HasExited) {
    $testexecute | Stop-Process -Force
  }
}
Remove-Variable testexecute

 

which works fine. I launch the ps1 file with the Task Scheduler with admin privileges.

 

Thank you all !
