Operating systems handle the scheduling of processes, ensuring fair execution and resource allocation. They can interact and communicate with other processes, enabling collaboration and coordination. Processes have their own allocated resources, such as memory and file handles, and operate independently with their own state and data. It represents an active entity engaged in executing specific instructions and performing computations.

In the world of computers, a process refers to an instance of a program running on an operating system.

This entry was posted in Python on Apby Kiprono Koech.Before we dive into the details of the Python subprocess module, let’s understand what a process in Operating System is. Lastly, we have shown how to terminate a running process(es) using Task Manager, command prompt, and Python packages. We have demonstrated how this is done by running a python.exe process in the background (you can do this with any process). In this article, we discussed how to wake up a process and keep running in the background using Python. In such a case, Image Name is a better option to use. This means that the PID used to kill a task generated by a given app may not work when an app is closed and opened again. The PID changes every time you open the process/app. This option might be needed when closing a task used by another process, for example. It is used to terminate a process forcefully. Note: The /F option issued to the taskkill command is optional.

When using Image Name, run “ taskkill /IM /IM /F” for example “ taskkill /IM ctfmon.exe /F” to kill CTF Loader.when using PID run “ taskkill /PID /PID /F“, for example, “ taskkill /PID 11024 /F” to kill CTF Loader.
