The Resource Kit utility - KILL.EXE

c:\4dos>kill /?
Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM) Version 3.5 KILL
Copyright (C) 1994-1998 Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved

usage: KILL [options] <<pid> | <pattern>>*

[options]:
-f Force process kill

<pid>
This is the process id for the task
to be killed. Use TLIST to get a
valid pid

<pattern>
The pattern can be a complete task
name or a regular expression pattern
to use as a match. Kill matches the
supplied pattern against the task names
and the window titles.
~~~

Also the GUI Resource Kit utility PVIEWER.EXE (aka; Process Viewer) but it is not a Command
Line Utility.

www.Cygwin.com has a bunch of free open source command line (and
X-window) ports from Unix/Linux. One of them is kill but I'm not
certain which module that is. (You install various modules, not the
full thing.)

You do ps -W to get a PID number and then kill -f pid.

mvps.org has a (free) beta of a command line interpreter which allows
you to do kill programname.
