The /r parameter should serve the purpose. It wil save and close the doc after load.

qv.exe /r

Thanks Arun, but the /r does not do it. I have a dashboard which I load with /l but i want to schedule it so that anytime I reload it should kill/close the previous one displaying and reload the current one loaded. What is happening now is the old one will be open with the new one as well. I want to display only the current one

I think you would have to do it by e.g. an EXTERNAL program checking your QV-process and by API killing and opening it when it has been reloaded. Of course you could program this (at least I suppose, I have some ideas but have not thought them through) but it's not very funny. You could as well program a flying elephant. If you need immediate awareness of critical information after a reload use the alert feature. Anything else is nothing more than "how can I avoid to refresh my browser manually ?".
