Well, I were looking for a way to close all unused dream daemon's running, and this command line is what I could come up with after seeing how taskkill works.
taskkill /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Dream Daemon" /IM dreamdaemon.exe
Well, that kills the unused DreamDaemon when they're in a window, but not minimized.
So, I'm wondering if there's some way to make it kill the minimized non-hosting running DreamDaemon tasks on windows?

taskkill /f /im dreamdaemon.exe

Sorry if I weren't clear with what I were trying to say, but I'm looking for to kill the DD's that are not hosting, that'd kill all dreamdaemons....

Then the only way is to use window title, as you were doing. But it'll work only if it's not minimized. There's no other way.
| |
Would it be possible to have a command that maxes the dreamdaemons, and then run that taskkill to kill the ones titled "Dream Daemon"? I've been trying to find a command to maximize a running process, but couldn't find anything...

I just used the WinAPI window-handling functions in C to see if there was a simple solution to this there. I enumerated through all existing windows, and while the DD window is "minimized" it does not seem to exist, not just existing but hidden, so perhaps the window is destroyed every time it is minimized and recreated when recalled.
That is my conclusion after poking at it for a few minutes. So you'll probably have to send a message to the taskbar's icon for DD. If you want to continue down that path, you can start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ ee330740%28v=vs.85%29.aspx So you'd send a message to the notification icon to get the DD window to pop up, then you'd do the other stuff you're trying to do. | |
