LKBEN10696: Howto stop a process from the command line with windows
Symptom
You need to have an alternative for a kill command under linux
Cause
A program hangs or consumes to much cpu
Solution
You can use the taskkill command to do the job. With taskkill you can ask a program to stop or force it to stop. Before you use taskkill, you can use the tasklist command to find the pid (program identifier) of the program you need to stop.
This will kill (force) the program with pid 1234.
taskkill /PID 1234 /F
You can also give a name to taskkill:
With /T you can kill the program structure or tree
TASKKILL /S System /F /IM write.exe /T
You can kill more than on PID at the same time:
TASKKILL /PID 1230 /PID 1241 /PID 1253 /T
For more information you can use the /? parameter.
