Console Process KILL utility for Windows NT-family
Strange, but I could not find console utility for killing processes under Windows.
Actually, there are many such utilities, but there is no one which can locate processes by
wkill supports Windows NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
- Window caption
- sub-string of Window caption
- module (executable) name
- substring of full module (executable) pathname
So, I had to write WKILL myself. The name is chosen to avoid conflicts with
sort of cygwin and unixport process kill utilities.
Usage:
wkill <options> [<params>]
Options:
-c, --caption <Window Caption> Caption of the window to be closed
-a, --all Kill all matching windows.
By default only the 1st found window is closed
-e, --exact Matching window captions exactly.
By default all captions beginning from <Window Caption>
are matched.
-i Use case insensetive comparison.
-p, --pid <Process ID> Kill by process ID (PID).
-n, --process-name <exac name> Kill by process (executable) name.
-N, --process-name-substr <exec name>
Kill by matching part of full process name/path.
By default (with -n) module name is matched exactly.
-x, --exit-code <Exit code> Process exit code (-1 by default).
-l, --list Enum (mached) processes without killing.
Examples:
wkill -c "Microsoft Word"
wkill -p 440
- added -l option for enumerating running processes
- added -N option for matching modules by substring of full module (executable) pathname
