pidtimer

Written by Gregory Heskett (gheskett)

This is meant to be a command line application with the focus of terminating any number of processes after a certain length of time. An example of a useful application for this would include a music player that plays music or sounds overnight but needs to be terminated by morning.

This application can also be used to open/execute files with arguments after the set amount of time. An example of this could be to play an obnoxious audio file as an alarm.

Usage: pidtimer.exe <[days]:[hours]:[minutes]:[seconds].[milliseconds]> [OPTIONAL ARGS] ...

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

• -k, --kill <PID> (Gracefully terminate a process)
• -f, --force <PID> (Force close a process)
• -o, --open <file path + cmd args> (Use escape characters for quotes!)

• pidtimer.exe 3:07:42:13.962 --kill 3479
