Subject: TSPROKIL - New free app from Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy
Hi All
It’s been a long time, but I found a small amount of time to tap together
another handy free utility. One thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately is
VDI and RDS sessions, where people say that the system is slow. When I
investigate I see the same thing every time – Internet Browser processes that
have been left on and minimised by users for hours, and resources getting
eaten up as a result. Well I can fix that with TSProKil – and free as always.
There is a 64bit and 32 bit version available. I hope you can use it for your
clients.

TSProKil is a command-line utility to Terminate named processes that have been
running for a prescribed period of time. (Default 60 minutes)
This utility was written for the purpose of terminating user processes that
run in a VDI or TS/ RDS session for a long period of time.
Specifically, processes such as Internet Browsers, which use valuable system
resources, are often left on by end users, creating system bloat. By running
this tool at regular intervals, Internet Browsers that have been running for
more than the prescribed time can be terminated, returning those resources
back to the environment
This tool could be simply run from the command line at any time, or added
as a SCHEDULED TASK for regular termination of named processes, reducing the
overall resource usage for the server environment.
TSProKil will only function when executed by a user with ADMIN rights.
Usage:
TSProKil [/Process:<processname>] [/Runtime:<runningtime>] [/LIST] [/?]
/Process:<processname> - Terminate any instance of the named process.
The processname must be the
complete
executable name such as
MyApp.exe.
/Runtime:<runningtime> - Terminate named process based on running
time in minutes (Default: 60
minutes)
/LIST - List all running processes and running times.
/? - show this help file
TSProKil with no parameters lists the help information.
E.G. TSProKil /LIST
This command will list all running processes and running times.
E.G. TSProKil /PROCESS:MyApp.exe
This command will terminate any instance MyApp.exe that has been
running for 60 minutes or more (Default).
E.G. TSProKil /PROCESS:MyApp.exe /RUNTIME:180
This command will terminate any instance MyApp.exe that has been
running for 180 minutes or more.
The program returns a list of the running processes and those terminated.
To store the output run the following command:
TSProKil.EXE [options]>TSProKil.txt
