batch command to exit a programme

[simonc]

As the first command in a backup batch file I want to open a media management
console. I can do this with the command mmc followed by the path of a .msc
file which opens the media page. Before starting the backup I then need to
close mmc.exe. How do I do this from the batch file?

Grateful for advice.

You could use taskkill.exe.
