What command is executed when you right click on a proces and “kill process”?
When right-clicking on a process and selecting "kill process" using the RT Console, the user asked what command is being executed. They needed to create an automated action to kill winlogon.exe, which is preventing sessions from logging out. It was suggested that they use the Powershell Cmdlets for SOLVE Actions, as found in the ControlUp documentation.

A user experienced an issue with the "Analyze logon duration" script run as a triggered task, only seeing an error attachment instead of the full output they needed. Ton suggested removing the -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue part to see if this helps, and @member suggested it may be a permission issue.
