Quitting a Process...

I'm creating a small, console app to close a running process (utorrent.exe).

I was wondering how i would go about doing that... TerminateProcess, ExitProcess, some sort of system() control?

Any input would be appreciated.

Use TerminateProcess.
But it is not a clean termination.
Certain resources held by the process may become corrupt.

The best way is to go the way a regular user does: send Exit command. Find out the Exit menu item command id and send that command message to the utorrent.exe window. Use Spy++ for finding out the mentioned id value.
