Calling commands Using EXEC - taskkill

[dlynas]

Hi

I'm trying to call the command taskkill in a script of mine. the code looks like this

 

exec("taskkill /f /s $compname /im iexplore.exe", $output);

 

As far as i can tell the code is doing nothing, it doesn't throw up any errors but it doesnt work either. I have tried replacing the variable $compname with the actual computer name but this dosen't work either. Any help would me much appreciated.

 

Thanks

where is taskkill stored

what the output ?

[dlynas]

taskkill is a windows command just like ping which i have working perfectly.

 

There is no output as far as i can tell, $output is an array and when i try and echo $output[0] is says it comes up with an error.
