Powershell script to kill IE when it hangs (used in automation testing)

kill_IE_WhenHung.bat

 @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted .\Kill_IE_WhenHung.ps1

kill_IE_WhenHung.ps1

 while (1) {
     if ( $allProcesses = get-process -name iexplore -errorAction SilentlyContinue ) {
         foreach ($oneProcess in $allProcesses) {
			if ( -not ($oneProcess.MainWindowHandle -and $oneProcess.Responding) ) {
				   write "Status = Not Responding: Kill&  Restart.."    
				   $oneProcess.kill()
			}
         }
     }
     if ( $allProcesses = get-process -name werfault*,wermgr* -errorAction SilentlyContinue ) {
         foreach ($oneProcess in $allProcesses) {
  	       write "Killing Werfault or WerMgr"    
		   $oneProcess.kill()
         }
     }
     start-sleep 5
 }

Loops for ever looking for Internet Explorer in a hung state and killing it. WerFault and WerMgr are processes that show dialogs saying IE died.

An alternative to these scripts may be something based on http://www.maketecheasier.com/kill-non-responsive-programs-in-windows/

 taskkill /F /FI "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING"
