I want something like this:-

taskkill 7z.exe after 50sec.
Execute few lines of codes without waiting for 7z.exe to be killed.

It will automatically be killed after 50sec, wherever the execution is going on.

Is this what you mean ? Waiting 50 seconds before killing 7z.exe 

Timeout 50 
taskill /f /im 7z.exe

or you want to wait after killing then do some commands.

taskill /f /im 7z.exe
Timeout 50 
REM do commands here.

EDIT: New version for OP.

start "7z killer" cmd "/c Timeout 50 && taskkill.exe /f /im 7z.exe"
echo "do something immediately"

  • Wait 50 sec before killing 7z.exe. But do not pause the program. Keep executing other lines. Is the first one solution of that? – Deb Jan 16 '14 at 15:51
  • Thanks. It worked. Please tell me a way to turn off the counting window. – Deb Jan 16 '14 at 16:55
  • probably could do it with the old invisible.vbs trick http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19750808/need-help-running-a-batch-invisibly-from-another-batch or http://superuser.com/questions/62525/run-a-completly-hidden-batch-file – Knuckle-Dragger Jan 16 '14 at 17:38

OK, here is a way to turn off the counting window, in addition to all the other stuff.

echo CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" ^& WScript.Arguments(0) ^& """", 0, False>Invisible.vbs
echo Timeout 50 ^&^& taskkill.exe /f /im 7z.exe>killer.bat
wscript Invisible.vbs killer.bat
echo "do something"

This creates two files in the same directory as itself, invisible.vbs and killer.bat then executes killer.bat invisibly with the 3rd line.

  • The `wscript` line replaces the `start` from the previous example. That's how I make it invisible the counting window. – Knuckle-Dragger Jan 17 '14 at 08:52
  • Ya , its invisible now. But the taskkiller is not running.i.e, I think the commands that were supposed to be executed in the new window(in your previous example) is not running now. – Deb Jan 17 '14 at 12:52
