How do I schedule a task to close a program?
The example program I would like to close is MSN Messenger.
It does not have a visible window when minimised therefore I can't target the window and close it.
Is there a way to get a list of running processes and close the process related to the application I want to close?

Use the Window Command->Close action. In the Window Command action's dialog box, you can select caption of any existing windows, even if it's hidden. However, I don't know what is the caption of the MSN Messenger's main window (the "Windows Messenger" is not main window).

Some applications when you call Window --> Close just minimise the application to the icon tray. Even sending an ALT+F4 command doesn't exit the application but just close it and keep it running in the icon tray. Need to call a command that can kill the process.

The question is if killing an application is as good as closing it. Does it clean up the memoryspace it has used and so fourth.
Well I don't think it is possible to target a windows by class in Robotask.
