Killing Process - W2K task Manger thorugh dos

[Vegito]

is there a way to kill an process through dos for w2k ... want to write a batch file to kill certain task and restart it.. like how w2k has the net start / stop option for services.. thanks or like unix's kill function

I believe the Resource Kit has utils tlist and kill to list and kill processes, pslist and pskill also ring a bell but I'm not sure where from.

First of all W2K doesn't really have DOS, it's the command prompt which is a DOS emulator. This is not true DOS.

To answer you question you can use kill.exe from the Resource Kit.

 

[Vegito]

it's easier to say dos than to type out command prompt

 

[dbwillis]

you can use pskill from sysinternals.com to stop the service, not sure about starting it

 

[Nothinman]

If you don't want to type out command prompt, try cli and cmd, both are more accurate than dos.

Also, using kill/pskill can be very dangerous. You can kill processes task manager won't let you (gotta love MS putting false security into the GUI) like services.exe and such, but you won't like the results.
