Stop programs using .bat

[tenchi86]

Hello, I asked this same question awhile ago when I was using XP. I am now on 2k but think the commands should be the same. My goal is to have a file that will stop firefox, trillian, and winamp with one click. Right now I have tried

@ECHO OFF
taskkill /f trillian.exe
taskkill /f winamp.exe
taskkill /f firefox.exe

@ECHO OFF
taskkill /f /im trillian.exe
taskkill /f /im winamp.exe
taskkill /f /im firefox.exe

I have also tried both ways without the .exe on the end. I am running Windows 2k sp4. Thanks for any help.

try downloading and using PSKill. I dont' believe 2K has Taskkill in it.

Ok, I downloaded PsKill. Now just need to get it working. I am not sure what I need to do with this file. It sounded like I put it with the .bat not in a system folder. Then type like PsKill [-t] <firefox.exe> which does not work. Any ideas on how to use this app?

drop it into \Winnt\system32. That should be in your "Path" variable so it will look for the command there.

try "pskill -t Processname"
