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.
