Sup Aaron! That's a pretty cool example. In the Event Structure it might be worth using a Case Structure to check whether someone's hit the Stop Process button with the 'Select Process' option in the Combo Box still enabled. This would prevent any false commands generated.

I think you have to put quotes (") around the name of the application you are terminating if if contains spaces.  At least on Windows XP.
