Kill will pattern match:
usage: KILL [options] <<pid> | <pattern>>*
[options]:
-f Force process kill
<pid>
This is the process id for the task
to be killed. Use TLIST to get a
valid pid
<pattern>
The pattern can be a complete task
name or a regular expression pattern
to use as a match. Kill matches the
supplied pattern against the task names
and the window titles.
I ran Calculator, then ran 'kill Calculator' - works for me...
C:\Documents and Settings\Lorry>kill Calculator
process calc.exe (1352) - 'Calculator' killed
