Help requested for new windows plugin - Killserver

[Xildjian]

I thought I'd take a shot at a graceful means to shutdown the nwn server for restarts. After, looking through the nwn standalone server install directory I noticed the nwnpid file. Sweet, the server leaves it's PID. So doing a little research on the MSDN web site I found an example that looks like it would work.

The plan:
1) read in the PID from the file
2) get the handle to the process
3) terminate the process

Sounds simple and elegant enough. However, when I make a call to the OpenProcess function I keep getting a return error of invalid parameter. I pretty much cut and pasted from the example I found and looked at the manual page for this function and can't see why I'm getting an invalid parameter. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Below is a zip file with my source code.

Have you solved this problem yet?

An alternative way might be to just call

Nope, haven't looked at it since I asked for help.

Wouldn't exit(0) refer to the plugin and not the nwn server?

exit(0) terminates the process, and nwnx and it's plugins are part of the nwn server process....

I put together a plugin that accomplishes this, look at this post:
