Start App on Launch of Rom/Emu, Kill upon Termination of Rom/Emu


ZoneArc

Recommended Posts

Is there a way that when a user selects to start a game you can do both of the below each time:

1. Execute a 2nd application (prior to the game starting)

2. Execute a batch file (or similar) that terminates the name of the 2nd application

More detail:

What I want to avoid is:

ALt+F4 or any other hack that could accidentally terminate the wrong application like Launchbox. It may not be consistent what is at the foreground when executing the command. 

What I want is:
A consistent way to terminate the named executable that I started prior to starting the ROM. For example, if I exit the game can I run a batch file like:
@echo
cls
taskkill /IM SampleApp.exe /T /F


--------
I see there's a scripting engine built in to Launchbox, I assume it's intended for this purpose?
