SUMMARY

Determining which packages are running under which PID is easy if you use the Tlist.exe utility. Tlist.exe is a console application included in the Windows NT Resource Kit. Also, after you have found the PID, you can use the kill command to stop the package from running.

MORE INFORMATION

The following steps demonstrate how to use the kill command to stop a package from running.
  1. In the MTS Console, right-click the package and click Properties on the shortcut menu.
  2. Note the Package ID Identifier.
  3. Open a command prompt.
  4. Type tlist.
  5. Look through the running task list for Mtx.exe. Note the numbers to the left of the Mtx.exe.
  6. Type tlist number. This will print task information to the screen.
  7. Note the PackageID /p:{xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx}.
  8. Continue this process until you have found the target package you want to shut down.
  9. After you have matched the number of the Mtx.exe with the Package ID number from Step 2 above, type kill task number and then press ENTER.
