WirelessAdmin™

Application & Process Control

With WirelessAdmin, you can view a list of applications running on the machine on which WirelessAdmin is installed.  From that list, you can either close or kill applications that you select.  These functions are available through the Process Control menu option.  Closing or killing applications is as simple as scrolling up or down to the desired application and selecting "Close" or "Kill".

Closing an application with WirelessAdmin is the equivalent of clicking on the Close button in the upper right hand corner of a Windows application. This is considered by Windows to be an orderly shutdown.  During an orderly shutdown, applications generally save information, close files, free memory and complete the tasks that they are required to do before the application itself exits memory.

Killing an application with WirelessAdmin is the equivalent of clicking the End Process button for a selected process from the Windows Task Manager.  Killing an application performs a forced shutdown instead of an orderly shutdown.  During a forced shutdown, it is possible that the application does not save information, does not close files or free memory.  However the application itself is terminated.  Killing an application is generally reserved for applications that do not respond to an orderly shutdown or are otherwise "hung".

WirelessAdmin will also allow you to close and kill processes.  A process is generally a non-visual application that is running in the background.
