hello  
i am chcking if i have the app amibroker instance running. if it is, i  
want to close it smoothly. however i land into a ole problem here. it  
only quits 1 instance at a single run. for eg. if i i have 3  
instances running and i execute the following script. it will close 1  
instance leaving 2 open. if i run it again, it will close another  
instance leaving 1 open. is it a win32ole prob or amibroker prob.

def closeAB  
application = WIN32OLE.new(“Broker.Application”)  
application.quit  
puts “called to close”  
end

# Everything

ProcTable.ps.each { |p|  
if(p.caption ==“Broker.exe”) then  
# close amibroker  
puts " found ab"  
closeAB

```
  end

```

}
