I have two computers connected via a Bluetooth Personal Area Network. One is a master computer with an updated copy of a certain database, a copy of which is pushed to the slave computer using GoodSync. The problem is that if a certain program on the slave is active it hooks the file and won't let GoodSync update.
I usually update at night and run a "Taskkill" on the offending program before GoodSync updates the files. This avoids the conflict and I don't care if the slave copy is corrupted by the kill because it will be written over anyway. However, sometimes I need to do an update push during the day and I am looking for a way to kill the process on the slave from the master computer.
I have found PsTools from Microsoft / Sysinternals and PsKill seems to fill the order except it only works across regular networks and not a Bluetooth PAN. Is there another way to do this? I have full read/write access to the slave but I can't figure out a way to start a batch file on that computer when connected remotely.
