Cougar has come up with a work-around for the annoyance and
degrading of performance when their security program is not cleared
properly, evidenced by multiple icons in the system tray.
You can add this command to a batch file to run Cougar or to a
separate batch file to just remove this process.
Example 1-Batch file to launch Cougar (I prefer killing
it on exiting as the 5 second delay on exiting would seem to be
preferable)
M:\CMSWIN\CMSMAIN.EXE dc XXX
Taskkill /IM cms23.exe
Example 2-Batch file to just kill
cms21.exe (could be done as a desktop Icon)
Taskkill /IM cms23.exe
Example 3-Batch file to launch Cougar (to
delete the R&R temporary report files that can accumulate to
thousands over time)
M:\CMSWIN\CMSMAIN.EXE
dc XXX
Taskkill /IM
cms23.exe
Del
m:\cmswin\VDM*.tmp /s
Using a
batch commands can be very powerful to add other security and
housekeeping functions.
Examples:
Making a
copy of sysprof*.* (these files are required by Cougar and
are difficult to rebuild (especially in V2010 sp2 or better).
Making an
extra copy of cms*.* (these files are required by Cougar).
Make copies
of the cmsShip files (which I don't believe are backed up)
There are
other work files that can be removed to save space, time on
backup, reduce conflicts and enhance overall performance

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]
Parameters
/s Computer : Specifies the name or IP address of a remote
computer (do not use backslashes). The default is the local computer.
/u Domain\User : Runs the command with the account
permissions of the user specified by User or Domain\User.
The default is the permissions of the current logged on user on the computer
issuing the command.
/p Password : Specifies the password of the user account that
is specified in the /u parameter.
/fi FilterName : Specifies the types of process(es) to include
in or exclude from termination. The following are valid filter names, operators,
and values.
|
Hostname |
eq, ne |
Any valid string. |
|
Status |
eq, ne |
RUNNING|NOT RESPONDING |
|
Imagename |
eq, ne |
Any valid string. |
|
PID |
eg, ne, gt, lt, ge,
le |
Any valid positive integer. |
|
Session |
eg, ne, gt, lt, ge,
le |
Any valid session number. |
|
CPUTime |
eq, ne, gt, lt, ge,
le |
Valid time in the format of hh:mm:ss.
The mm and ss parameters should be between 0 and 59 and
hh can be any valid unsigned numeric value. |
|
Memusage |
eg, ne, gt, lt, ge,
le |
Any valid integer. |
|
Username |
eq, ne |
Any valid user name ([Domain\]User). |
|
Services |
eq, ne |
Any valid string. |
|
Windowtitle |
eq, ne |
Any valid string. |
/pid ProcessID : Specifies the process ID of the process to be
terminated.
/im ImageName : Specifies the image name of the process to be
terminated. Use the wildcard (*) to specify all image names.
/f : Specifies that process(es) be forcefully terminated. This
parameter is ignored for remote processes; all remote processes are forcefully
terminated.
/t : Specifies to terminate all child processes along with the parent
process, commonly known as a tree kill.
/?: Displays help at the command prompt.
Remarks
| • |
The wildcard character (*) is accepted only when
specified along with the filters. |
| • |
Termination for remote processes will always be
done forcefully regardless of whether the /f parameter is
specified. |
| • |
Supplying a computer name to the HOSTNAME filter
will cause a shutdown and all processes will be stopped. |
| • |
Use tasklist to determine the Process ID (PID)
for the process to be terminated. |
| • |
Taskkill is a replacement for the Kill
tool. |
Examples
The following examples show how you can use the taskkill command:
taskkill /pid 1230 /pid 1241 /pid 1253
taskkill /f /fi "USERNAME eq NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /im notepad.exe
taskkill /s srvmain /f /im notepad.exe
taskkill /s srvmain /u maindom\hiropln /p p@ssW23 /fi "IMAGENAME eq note*" /im
*
taskkill /s srvmain /u maindom\hiropln /fi "USERNAME ne NT*" /im *
taskkill /f /fi "PID ge 1000" /im *
