I see a few C# Versions of this on the web. Here is a VB version.
Private Shared Function ProcessKillByOwnerSID(sProcessName As String, sSID As String) As Integer
Dim oProcesses() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(sProcessName)
Dim i As Integer = 0
For Each oProcess As Process In oProcesses
If GetProcessInfoByPID(oProcess.Id, Nothing, Nothing) = sSID Then
oProcess.Kill()
i = i + 1
End If
Next
Return i
End Function
Private Shared Function GetProcessInfoByPID(PID As Integer, sOutUser As String, sOutDomain As String) As String
Dim sOwnerSID As String = String.Empty
Try
Dim sQuery As System.Management.ObjectQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where ProcessID = '" & PID.ToString() & "'")
Dim oSearcher As System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher = New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(sQuery)
If oSearcher.Get().Count = 0 Then Return sOwnerSID
For Each oReturn As System.Management.ManagementObject In oSearcher.Get()
Dim sOwner(2) As String
oReturn.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", CType(sOwner, Object()))
sOutUser = sOwner(0)
If sOutUser Is Nothing Then sOutUser = String.Empty
sOutDomain = sOwner(1)
If sOutDomain Is Nothing Then sOutDomain = String.Empty
Dim sSID(1) As String
oReturn.InvokeMethod("GetOwnerSid", CType(sSID, Object()))
sOwnerSID = sSID(0)
Return sOwnerSID
Next
Catch
Return sOwnerSID
End Try
Return sOwnerSID
End Function
Use the above myspace link to listen to a lovely tune by Red Meat. Below is some fantastic advice I got from here.
^M is DOS line break charater which shows up in unix files when uploaded from a windows file system in ascii format.
To remove this, open your file in vi editor and type
:%s/(ctrl-v)(ctrl-m)//g
and press Enter key.
Important!! – press (Ctrl-v) (Ctrl-m) combination to enter ^M character, dont use “^” and M
