Syntax

FUNCTION Terminate

Description

Instructs the script engine to end the process started by the Exec method (called by the constructor).

Remarks

The Terminate method does not return a value. Use the Terminate method only as a last resort since some applications do not clean up properly. As a general rule, let the process run its course and end on its own. The Terminate method attempts to end a process using the WM_CLOSE message. If that does not work, it kills the process immediately without going through the normal shutdown procedure.
