Cmd batch file configuration

I am looking for a way to terminate a process and run another one afterwards. This should be done in the same batch file. And the only way to terminate the process is to press CTRL + C and then say Y afterswards.

So the thing I want is the batch file to do is to automatically; CMD: CTRL + C CMD: Y

call x.exe

So my question is how do I programatically do these step in batch script?

Any kind of help is appreciated!

To do this, first, use the command taskkill. This will terminate the process you specify in the file's code. If that does not work, try putting one of the parameters given when entering taskkill /?.

/S    system           Specifies the remote system to connect to.

/U    [domain\]user    Specifies the user context under which the
                       command should execute.

/P    [password]       Specifies the password for the given user
                       context. Prompts for input if omitted.

/FI   filter           Applies a filter to select a set of tasks.
                       Allows "*" to be used. ex. imagename eq acme*

/PID  processid        Specifies the PID of the process to be terminated.
                       Use TaskList to get the PID.

/IM   imagename        Specifies the image name of the process
                       to be terminated. Wildcard '*' can be used
                       to specify all tasks or image names.

/T                     Terminates the specified process and any
                       child processes which were started by it.

/F                     Specifies to forcefully terminate the process(es).

Secondly, use the call command. Because I have never been in a situation where I had to use this command in my whole life, my definition may not be 100% correct. Sorry.

The call command is used to execute another batch-file. It has to be used in like this: CALL [drive:][path]filename [batch-parameters]. Batch-parameters are used to specify important information required by the file. If you have file extensions enabled, the call command accepts labels as the target.

Here you go.
