SCOUG-Help: killing one of several .cmd files

Your statement is not true. As I said, I have a Rexx script that looks for the presents of a particular program running. It has code to start the program. Then, it loops until it finds it find that program loaded and running. Then it continues.

The scenario that I described to you, using the output of the 4 compound variables returned by the DOSPIDLIST is exactly what you need to locate and identify, by process ID #, the program that you want to kill. To repeat, you find the program by pathname in the second compound variable. Then, you find it by process ID in the first compound variable. Whatever program you want killed, you KNOW its pathname. Find it in the second variable. Whatever position it occupies in that compound variable, its process ID occupies the same position in the first variable. Then, use The DOSKILLPROCESS function to kill it, placing the find ID in that function.

Peter, I have the Rexx Library user's manual sitting right here in front of me. I'm looking at it right now. Those functions are what I use in my script.

The problem is that you can't look at the PSTAT /C list and figure out
which program is which process, and the function you suggest doesn't
appear (from your description) to give any more info than PSTAT /C
supplies.
