Stop process

Modified another worklet posted here to accomplish this - the hard part is getting it “touchless” so the user doesn’ t even know it updated. I’ve noticed in testing that the old flag chrome provided to auto-restore tabs does not work with the latest versions.

#Set the name of the application you want to affect

$process = “chrome”

#Check if $process is running. If it’s running, ask the user to close it, if it isn’t running then >exit quietly.

$process_running = Get-Process $process -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if ( !$process_running ) {

#If the process is not running then there’s nothing to do. Exit quietly.

Write-Host “$process was not running: nothing to close.” }

else {

#Play a sound with the pop-up message

[system.media.systemsounds]::Hand.play()

#Trigger the pop-up message with a Ok/Cancel option

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(‘System.Windows.Forms’)

$UserResponse = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show(“Google Chrome must be > updated on your system. Please save your work and click OK to close the application. IT” , > “Status” , 1)

#If user clicked OK, try to close the app gracefully

if ( $UserResponse -eq “OK” ) {

Write-Host “Closing $process application.”

$process_running.CloseMainWindow()

    ##Optional: Uncomment the stanza below to force kill the process after X seconds if >graceful exit failed

  Sleep 60

  if ( !$process_running.HasExited ) {

  	$process_running | Stop-Process -Force }

	} 

else 

#If user clicked Cancel, exit and do nothing

{ 

Write-Host "Chrome update not applied: user chose to keep the app open." 

Exit

}

}

I’ve made some small changes. The main thing is that if we use “$process_running.CloseMainWindow()” when Chrome is restored, the tabs previously close are not. If we use “Stop-process -name $process” then it restores them.

Running it locally works, but when ran from Automox nothing happends, any idea??

#Set the name of the application you want to affect

$process = "chrome"



#Check if $process is running. If it’s running, ask the user to close it, if it isn’t running then >exit quietly.

$process_running = Get-Process $process -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue



if ( !$process_running ) {

    #If the process is not running then there’s nothing to do. Exit quietly.

    Write-Host "$process was not running: nothing to close." }

	else {

    #Play a sound with the pop-up message

    [system.media.systemsounds]::Hand.play()



    #Trigger the pop-up message with a Ok/Cancel option

    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.Windows.Forms')

    $UserResponse = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Para actualizar a la ultima version Chrome debe ser reiniciado. Guarda tu trabajo y haz click en OK para aplicar la actualizacion. Una vez cerrado, puedes iniciar Chrome de nuevo") #> "Status" 1)



    #If user clicked OK, try to close the app gracefully

    if ( $UserResponse -eq "OK" ) {

	Stop-process -Name $process -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue 

    }

	}
