SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/lib/shell/kill [ -? ]

kill [ -t ] [ \\computer [ -u username ] [ -p password ]] process_name | process_id

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

Running kill with a process ID directs it to kill the process of that ID on the local computer. If you specify a process name kill will kill all processes that have that name.

 

OPTIONS

-?
Displays the supported options.

-t
Kill the process and its descendants.

\\computer
Specifies the computer on which the process you want to terminate is executing. The remote computer must be accessible via the NT network neighborhood.

-u username
If you want to kill a process on a remote system and the account you are executing in does not have administrative privileges on the remote system then you must login as an administrator using this command-line option. If you do not include the password with the -p option then kill will prompt you for the password without echoing your input to the display.

-p password
This option lets you specify the login password on the command line so that you can use kill from batch files. If you specify an account name and omit the -p option kill prompts you interactively for a password.

process_id
Specifies the process ID of the process you want to kill.

process_name
Specifies the process name of the process or processes you want to kill.
