Smart doesn't kills processes

Ok I don't know it's only me or not, but anyways if someone has same issue i going to show quick they to "fix" it.

Then you open multiply S.M.A.R.T windows (or only one few times with now computer restart), and close it after all, processes stays and uses some computer memory as shown in picture.

kill all processes which are named "smartremote32.exe" you will need to create *.bat file to do that

1. Open notepad, or other text-editor software. Write down code bellow.


taskkill /F /IM smartremote32.exe
pause

2. then Click File > Save as...

3. and save as "*.bat" WITH QUOTATION MARKS

4. And you should get file liek this

5. Run it and it's done, all S.M.A.R.T processes will be killed (turned off) instantly.

Commands:
taskkill - command to kill task.
Pause - command stops the script and asks to press any key to turn it off, not necessary, but you can leave if you want to see how much processes was killed.

Keys:
/f
Specifies that processes be forcefully terminated.

/im <ImageName>(in our case "/IM smartremote32.exe")
Specifies the image name of the process to be terminated.


nothing special but may help to some people, because to turn of more then 3 processes may takes some time :D even if it's few sec. you can do that faster though.

edit:

Make sure you have no open S.M.A.R.T you need at the moment. because they will be closed as well

Or you can update your Smart to v8.X and see that it does indeed kill its processes. Just that it leaves the PID file behind which should be deleted when Simba closes. Though it's not necessary. Also unless that batch file is looped, it will only kill one task; Not all.

Delete:
//task kill stuff..
Goto: Delete

oh didn't noticed that before... This command will kill all processes named no need loop after that. This *.bat will kill all processes no matter how much are of them open. at least i tried with like 5-10 processes it killed all of them

edit:sorry for double post, did that from phone. didn't noticed at first place :X
