Figured it out:

taskkill /im someprocess.exe

To "force" a kill (same as Linux's "kill -9 pid"):

taskkill /f /im someprocess.exe

taskkill /IM notepad.exe (or any other program)

Or do :
taskkill /?

I'm not sure about handling the options, but something like

taskkill thunderbird.exe

Here's some options info:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/taskkill.mspx?mfr=true
Taskkill - Ends one or more tasks or processes. Processes can be
killed by process ID or image name. - Syntax
taskkill [/s Computer] [/u Domain\User [/p Password]]] [/fi FilterName]
[/pid ProcessID]|[/im ImageName] [/f][/t]

Discussion of tskill vs taskkill, which is stronger and available in XP Pro

Hi Mike and Burry,

Thank you guys for the tips.

As things transpired, the Cobian tape report errors
when trying to back up the Thunderbird directories with
Volume Shadow were caused by a failing interface on the
back up drive. ("Delayed write failure", "device removed
without being prepared", etc..)

Thunderbird got fingered in the backup report because
it had the most data -- years and years and years.

is box with failing hdd a dual boot with linux?

have you tried to boot "live linux" cd/dvd to check if the hdd is accessible?

if accessible, something on order of;

# =+= write, modified; [1 day old]
# find . -mtime 1 -type f -print | sort | cpio -oaBcv -O /dev/tape

might be a way to recover data.

hth.

Hi G,

This customer's machine is XP-Pro-SP3. It is the backup drive that
is going bad. The main drive is fine. G-Tech is replacing the drive.
(I have had a series of bad G-Drives -- nothing new here.)

I use Xfce Live CD all the time to recover data. I carry three
copy with me. (One of these days, I am going to have to try it
on a flash drive, but few of my customers can boot off a flash
drive yet.)

What exactly does your command do?

hi T,

my bad. :=(

from reading some of your post, i was of impression that you were more
familiar with linux, and this was your own system.

when issued, with tape drive unmounted;

find . -mtime 1 -type f -print | sort | cpio -oaBcv -O /dev/tape

_finds_ from _current_directory_path_ all _files_ _1_ day old

| _sorts_ names of files |

_archives_ files with _output_ to _device_tape_drive_

this command can run from any type of booted media, ie, installed hdd, live
cd/dvd, usb hdd or usb memory 'drive'.

because backup drive is going bad, command can be run against _either_ the
"main" or the "backup" drive.

in your case, because it is an entire drive, 'cpio' command can also be used
to backup across multiple tapes to cover size of drive.

before retiring, i always carried a live cd's and live dvd's, plus a scsi card
and scsi tape drive and tapes. this allowed me to back up _any_os_system_.
very handy for trouble shooting a system that would not boot or had hdd
problems and i wanted to make a backup.

next time you boot linux, installed or a live cd, run

man find
man sort
man cpio

they should be on a live cd, but may not be. if you get a 'not found error,
they are not installed or on live cd.

/*NOTE*
this is not an "ad" for linux, just one of 'tricks' to "cma" and client's. :=)
/*ETON*

later.

Hi G,

No problem.

Actually, I am pretty familiar with Linux. I wish I had
a ton more Linux customers too. I never got along with cpio.
That is what I was curious about. The cpio man page seems to
be written as a refresher for those that are already familiar
with the command.

Thank you for the explanation! In this field, you are always
learning, no matter how good you get or think you are: that is
part of the fun/challange. Linux in much more fun than
Windows because you are much closer to the kernel.

I use "find" and "sort" all the time. I especially love "find's"
"-exec" command. Use it with "grep" a lot.

-T

p.s. you will love this one from my ff and th automatic bash
download script (I do love Linux!):

GetMozillaLatestRev () {
# $1 = directoy which contains revisions

wget --quiet http://$1 -O - | \
html2text -nobs -style pretty -width 132 | \
grep -i DIR | \
sed -e "s/\[DIR\]//" | \
awk '{print $1}' | \
sed -e "s/\///" > $Tmp 2>&1

LatestRev="`cat $Tmp | \
grep -v blank.gif | \
grep -v Parent_Directory | \
grep -v latest | \
grep -v real | \
grep -v order | \
grep -v impressum | \
grep -v funnelcake | \
grep -v mozilla.org | \
grep -v -i README | \
grep -v -i Stub | \
grep -v -i esr | \
grep -v b | \
grep -v sem | \
sort -r -n | \
sed -n 1,1p`"

echo "$LatestRev"

this is true. one of reasons i love linux. tho oos is well orientated to
office use.

who wants a dull and boring os that one can not tweak? :=)

having started with 'cdos', then 'cromix', 'ms dos' as a side, then
linux, i have found that there is more enjoyment when one has a chance
to 'tinker' with os.

the joys and pleasures of command line chaining. ((GBWG))

anyway, glad to see that oos has a 'kill' command also. such can come
in very handy when troubleshooting. [wonder where they got source]
