title: Kill process over network with batch file
body: <p>The 1st question is about batch commands, the 2nd is about a database corruption if you care to read.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Does anyone know the batch command to kill a process (.exe) over the network ie from a server to a front-office PC.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have an application which runs nightly to create a cut-down (~1Mb) version of a Membership database (~10Mb) on a backoffice PC and then transfers it to a number of Tills, replacing the one that is there.</p>
  
  <p>The files are advantage databases (.ADT .ADM .ADI) and the aim is to create a smaller file for reference by our Point of Sale software.</p>
  
  <p>At 2 of our clients sites, at random intervals these files will be corrupted and our software cannot from them.</p>
  
  <p>There is no activity going on with these files at the time of creation &amp; transfering and the Point of Sale software (should) be turned off on all computers. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Does anyone have any suggestion as to why this may happen? My only idea is to really make sure the software is killed over network before copying the file across.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance,
  ian</p>
