ShutDownProcess, if process is passed as ID and flag 4 (terminate matching)

[r0n]

It is probably not bug or maybe intended to function like this (or overlooked something).
It is explained in below code.


Macro Macro5

Code:

Copy      Help

;; When multiple notepad windows are open.
;; Trying to close multiple instances in one go only works
;; in situation 2.

;; SITUATION 1
;; If multiple notepad windows open, it only closes one
;; FLAG 4 - terminate all processes matching program name
int x=ProcessNameToId("notepad.exe")
ShutDownProcess(x 1|4)

;; SITUATION 2
;; This correctly closes multiple instances of notepad
ShutDownProcess("notepad" 4)

;; (also tested with wordpad)

Intended.
A process id belongs to a single process, not to all notepad processes.

AH!
Thanks!
