Killing windows processes from the command line

Use TASKLIST and TASKKILL :  Good web site on this http://commandwindows.com/taskkill.htm

(F)orce Kill running processes for ImageName of java.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM java.exe

NOTE: Wildcard ‘*’ for the /IM switch is accepted only with filters, use /FI
taskkill /F /FI “IMAGENAME eq note*”

Find all running Java processes command line
tasklist /FI “IMAGENAME eq java.exe”

Example:  I started 2 Calculator programs.

H:\>tasklist /FI “IMAGENAME eq calc*”

Image Name                   PID Session Name     Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ====== ================ ======== ============
calc.exe                    4652 Console                 0      3,420 K
calc.exe                    1936 Console                 0      3,412 K

H:\>taskkill /F /FI “IMAGENAME eq calc*”
SUCCESS: The process with PID 4652 has been terminated.
SUCCESS: The process with PID 1936 has been terminated.

I needed these commands to script a nightly restart of a java application that had a bad memory leak.  For some reason the normal stop wasn’t working. Crying or Very sad
