Kill some processes by .exe file name

Question

How can I kill some active processes by searching for their .exe filenames in C# .NET or C++?

Answer 1

Quick Answer:

foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName("whatever"))
{
    process.Kill();
}

(leave off .exe from process name)

Answer 2

My solution is:

var chromeDriverProcesses = Process.GetProcesses().
                                 Where(pr => pr.ProcessName == "chromedriver");

foreach (var process in chromeDriverProcesses)
{
     process.Kill();
}

Answer 3

You can use Process.GetProcesses() to get the currently running processes, then Process.Kill() to kill a process.

Answer 4

If you have the process ID (PID) you can kill this process as follow:

Process processToKill = Process.GetProcessById(pid);
processToKill.Kill();

Answer 5

public void EndTask(string taskname)
{
      string processName = taskname.Replace(".exe", "");

      foreach (Process process in Process.GetProcessesByName(processName))
      {
          process.Kill();
      }
}

//EndTask("notepad");

Summary: no matter if the name contains .exe, the process will end. You don't need to "leave off .exe from process name", It works 100%.
