How can I terminate a process, whose PID is known?

[Guest]

I do not have the original Windows 2000 CD at hand but would like to use the Tlist.exe and kill.exe utilities. Can anyone tell me if I can download these from somewhere? If not then is there any other way one can terminate a process if the Process ID is known. Please advise

Regard

Steve.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Dave, you stole my thunder! I use pskill because you can specify a PID (process ID) or a [partial] name of the process. Using the name eliminates me having to use something like tlist to get the PID.

For example, I have found the ccApp.exe in Norton Internet Security (NIS) will occasionally become unresponsive and is the root of many of the problems associated with connectivity in that product. I use a batch file to kill ccApp.exe and use net stop|start to stop and start their other NT services to effectively reset NIS. Sure beats having to permanently disable NIS during my Windows session or having to reboot the system. Doesn't work all the time but it helps enough. I can run "pskill ccapp.exe" and never know what was its PID. Actually I could use "pskill ccapp" but I try to be as specific as possible.

You get tlist and kill in the Windows 2000 Support files downloadable at Microsoft. Make sure you get the package that corresponds to your current Service Pack level.
