Target Control Debugging: kp Command (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/26/2014

This command ends a process.

Syntax

kp [-r] <proc> [<proc2> <proc3> ...]

Parameters

  • -r
    Optional. Automatically refreshes the process list. You can use this argument instead of typing the gi proc command to see a list of running processes on the device attached to Platform Builder.

  • <proc>
    Specifies the process to end. This value can be the file name in the NAME column, or the index number in the PROC column that is displayed in the gi proc command; for example, kp MyProc.exe, kp MyProc, or kp 10.

    To end multiple processes, specify a list of process names or index numbers; for example, kp MLWD MyProc or kp 08 10.

Remarks

You can enter the command in two ways:

  • If the OS on your device supports the console window, you can bring up the Target Control window on your device by running shell -c. You can then enter the kp command at the shell command prompt on your device.
  • If you use Platform Builder, you can enter the kp command from the Visual Studio Target Control window.

Example

The following command example shows the kp command that you must enter to end a process. You can enter gi proc to show the list of processes that are currently running on the system. In this example, MyProc.exe is shown as index 10 from the PROC column, so you can either enter kp 10 or kp MyProc.exe to end the process.
