Ending processes via the command line

[Guest]

Im just wondering does anyone know of any ms utils to end a process via the cmd line / batchfile. I have found ways to do it with Visual Basic and Visual Basic.NET but would prefer not to do it this way.

try this exe. Ex. pskill \\computer process

the cmd line / batchfile. I have found ways to do it with Visual
Basic and Visual Basic.NET but would prefer not to do it this way.

Posting binary attachments in a text group is not such a good thing.


Would not a link be a better choice?

SysInternals freeware utilities
http://www.sysinternals.com/

pskill.exe
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtml
or as part of PSTools pkg.
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml

There is also kill.exe (MS) in the Resource Kits
and also in the Support Tools which can be installed from the W2K
source CD or downloaded from MS.

.... and others found via Google.

Hi

The Microsoft command line tool kill.exe.

Kill.exe is in the Win2k Support Tools found on the Win2k CD,
\Support\Tools\Suptools.msi, or for the latest version of
Support Tools (should work on non-SP4 computers as well):
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/supporttools.asp

(Taskkill.exe comes build in with WinXP Pro)


The command line tool PsKill.exe in the free PsTools suite at
http://www.sysinternals.com/ is also an option.

Maybe Mark's message was not subtle enough?

PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH BINARIES

Post the link instead; in that way, the person you're helping is sure to
get the latest version of the tool.

Thanks,

Bill
