When Executing a executable I want to kill any available processes with the same name

This could easily be added to the "Execute" job window

I have tried to manually add an additional task to kill the process before executing a new one but without a condition it generates a popup saying it can't kill the process (and halts until the popup is killed), adding an additional check to see if the process exists before killing it does not work as it also halts the (it also halts to main job if the process does not exist)... I hope you still get it as it seems to be a bug to me

Maybe a good alternative is not to show any popup errors (or make it optional) when trying to kill a process which does not exist. As te popup breaks the job (as it does not continue until it is clicked)

I think the Execute function is crammed with too many options right now. But I think we could add a setting for surpressing those Messageboxes. What do you think about that?

Suppressing the messagebox works for me, I do see them anyway as VC is running on a remote server

FYI: The messagebox is only showed if you are using the Client (and of course, is only showed at client side). It is never shown from the service.
