Remarks
- You can use tskill to end only those processes that
belong to you, unless you are an administrator. Administrators have
full access to all tskill functions and can end processes
that are running in other user sessions.
- When all processes that are running in a session end, the
session also ends.
- If you use the ProcessName and the
/server:ServerName parameters, you must also specify
either the /id:SessionID or the /a
parameter.
Examples
- To end process 6543, type:
tskill 6543
- To end the process "explorer" running on session 5, type:
tskill explorer /id:5
