Anyone know of a util that I can use to kill a task from a command line in windows.

Won't be there so cannot do Ctrl-Alt Del, it will be via a bat file.

Thanks in advance.

msconfig to:
start => run => type in msconfig => OK => Startup

Uncheck anything that you don't want it to start up... restart windows..

What you need are two utilities : Kill.exe and tlist.exe which come with the windows resource kit. Tlist.exe to identify the process identity and kill.exe to actually kill it in a command line. But, windows resource kit (Console Management) is not freeware.

I've tried to find if free download is avail out there. If your OS is win95, try :

But it won't work for win98 (version is important here). I guess there must be somebody to put them or clone of them up on their sites for free download.
