# Manage Processes

> The example below explains how to start an operation, verify it, and then close it by using activities such as [**Get Processes**](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/get-processes) and [**Kill Process**](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/kill-process). You can find these activities in the **UiPath.System.Activities** package.

The example below explains how to start an operation, verify it, and then close it by using activities such as [**Get Processes**](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/get-processes) and [**Kill Process**](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/kill-process). You can find these activities in the **UiPath.System.Activities** package.

This is how the automation process can be built:

1. Open Studio and create a new **Process**.
2. Drag a **Sequence** container in the **Workflow Designer**.
   * Create the following variables:

     | Variable Name | Variable Type | Default Value |
     | --- | --- | --- |
     | `identifyProcesses` | **System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<System.Diagnostics.Process>** |  |
     | `closeProcess` | **Boolean** | **True** |
3. Drag an **Open Browser** activity inside the **Sequence** container.
   * Type the web address in the **Url** field. For this example, the address is `google.com`.
   * In the **Properties** panel, select the check box for the **NewSession** option. This starts a new session of the selected browser.
4. Drag another **Open Browser** activity below the first one. This opens a second browser instance.
   * Type the web address in the **Url** field. The used address is the same as before, `google.com`.
   * In the **Properties** panel, select the check box for the **NewSession** option. This starts a new session of the selected browser.
5. Place a **Get Processes** activity below the **Open Browser** activity.
   * In the **Properties** panel, add the variable `identifyProcesses` in the **Processes** field.
6. Drag a **For Each** activity below the **Get Processes** activity.
   * Add the value `process` in the **For Each** field.
   * In the **Properties** panel, select the **System.Diagnostics.Process** from the **TypeArgument** drop-down list.
   * Add the variable `identifyProcesses` in the **Enter a VB expression** field.
7. Place an **If** activity inside the **Body** of the **For Each** activity.
   * Add the expression `process.ToString.Contains("explore")` in the **Condition** field.
8. Drag a **Write Line** activity inside the **Then** field of the **If** activity.
   * Add the value `process.ToString` in the **Text** field.
9. Place another **If** activity below the previously added **If** activity.
   * Add the expression `process.ToString.Contains("iexplore") And closeProcess` in the **Condition** field.
10. Drag a **Message Box** activity inside the **Then** field of the **If** activity.
    * Add the expression `"An IE process will be killed"` in the **Text** field.
    * Select the check box for the **TopMost** option for always having the message displayed in the foreground.
11. Place a **Kill Process** activity below the **Message Box** activity.
    * In the **Properties** panel, add the value `process` in the **Process** field.
12. Drag an **Assign** activity below the **Kill Process** activity.
    * In the **Properties** panel, add the variable `closeProcess` in the **To** field.
    * Add the value `False` in the **Value** field.
    * Here is how the **For Each** process should look:

13. Place a **Message Box** activity below the **For Each** activity.
    * In the **Properties** field, add the expression `"All the IE processes will be killed"` in the **Text** field.
    * Select the check box for the **TopMost** option for always having the message displayed in the foreground.
14. Add a **Kill Process** activity below the **Message Box** activity. This activity closes all the open web browsers.
    * In the **Properties** panel, add the value `iexplorer` in the **ProcessName** field.
15. Run the process. Two Internet Explorer windows are opened, verified and then closed, one by one.
