WMI Kill Proccess not always kills

Automise Bugs
1

Hi,

i tried to use WMI kill proccess action to kill the Perforce server local process and the action completed succ4essfully telling me that the process (PID) was killed but actually it wasn’t (not killed- restarted)
When I try to kill the proccess manually it works, also whn I try to kill the firefox.exe proccess with Automise, it works.

Maybe it has somehting to do with the fact that the Perforce server process is also a service, but again manually I can kill it.

No way to edit my post? So many typos

If Perforce Service is a service, it’s probably being restarted by Windows when you kill it. If you look in the Event Viewer you should find the relevant information (under Event Viewer -> System -> Service Contro Manager messages.)

Can you use the Control Service action instead?
