# ProcessTerminator

```

Usage: ProcessTerminator [OPTIONS] process_name

Description:

    This program terminates processes with configurable options for graceful handling. 

    It allows you to:

        - Wait for another process to exit before proceeding.

        - Specify a delay before sending a close request.

        - Forcefully terminate if the process doesn't exit within the wait time.

        - Cleanup leftover files and directories after termination.

    Ideal for controlled process termination, ensuring system stability.

Options:

    -h, --help          Show this help message and exit.

    -v, --version       Display the program version and exit.

    -m, --monitor       Use to specify a process to wait for before proceeding.

    -i, --interval      Control how often the monitored process is checked.

    -d, --delay         Set a time buffer before sending a close request.

    -c, --command       Send a custom command before attempting to close the process.

    -w, --wait          Set a time buffer to allow the target process to close naturally.

    -r, --remove        Paths (comma-separated) to remove after process termination.

Arguments:

    process_name        The name of the process to terminate (required)

Note:

    All time-related options (such as delay intervals) are specified in seconds.

Examples:

    ProcessTerminator whatsapp

        Attept to exit 'whatsapp' process immediately.

    ProcessTerminator -m chrome firefox

        Wait for the 'chrome' process to exit before attempting to exit 'firefox'.

    ProcessTerminator -d 10 spotify

        Delay for 10 seconds before attempting to exit 'spotify'.

    ProcessTerminator -c "custom_command" -r "D:\temp1,D:\temp2\file.ext" exif

        Send a custom command to 'exif' before attempting to close it.

        Then delete 'D:\temp1' and 'D:\temp2\file.ext' after termination.
