How to stop process from .BAT file?

Question

So I have process I started from one bat file. How to stop it from another?

Answer 1

As TASKKILL might be unavailable on some Home/basic editions of windows here some alternatives:

TSKILL processName

or

TSKILL PID

Have on mind that processName should not have the .exe suffix and is limited to 18 characters.

Another option is WMIC :

wmic Path win32_process Where "Caption Like 'MyProcess.exe'" Call Terminate

wmic offer even more flexibility than taskkill .With wmic Path win32_process get you can see the available fileds you can filter.
