OK, you wanted to know why, here it is:
I purchased networkstreaming.com's remote support software to assist our
clients remotely. It's built on the VNC engine but works in reverse. I
wait in remote mode, while the client downloads/installs/connects to me
using the "server" mode - but the server mode is programmed with my dynamic
DNS name to find me at my office. All port forwarding is configured at my
office which allows a client to connect to me without configuring anything.
It's very cool software, doesn't cost me $300/mo like other webex accounts.
It's saved and made us hundreds of dollars so far. ANYWAY.
Since the remote mode runs on my computer at my office and dynamic DNS is
forwarded there it works best when I'm on my office computer. BUT what
happens when I'm on the road and need to connect to a client?
This is what I do: I Terminal into my Server, start the NetworkStreaming
remote client (waiting mode software) - then tell the client to run the
other half of the software (I created a simple subdomain link on my website
that points to the ftp location to make this very simple for the end user).
They connect to my office server - I see their desktop in my Terminal
session - VERY COOL - and it's been working great!!! I can connect to a
client in 30 seconds - that's including all instructions for them to follow
and software to download and mistakes they make along the way (like where's
the URL field in the Internet Explorer questions!!)
They only small drawback - sometimes the NetworkStreaming client software is
already running on the real logged in session, which doesn't allow me to
execute it in the Terminal session. I use Terminal Manager to find the
NetworkStreaming process and "end-task" it - that works fine - BUT
cumbersome!
I would like an Icon in the Terminal session to read "Terminate
NetworkStreaming" once terminated - I can re-activate it in my session and
wait for the connection.
(Double click terminate then Double click Network Streaming - two sets of
double clicks and I'm done).
In my world, saving a few keystrokes here and there makes me happy. So if
anyone knows how to easily end a process using some kind of EXE or
whatever - please let me know.
Thanks for reading and check out networkstreaming.com when you get a chance
(if you do remote desktop support - it will save you hundreds.) You buy it
for around $900, but it's yours to keep - no monthly fees!

Is there an easy way to stop a running process using the command prompt or
some other 3rd party executable?
I started to read about the "kill" command but it requires programming -
which I have no clue how to do.
Note: I'm not trying to stop a Service, I'm trying to stop a running
Process. <-- they are different!
I know I can press CTRL-AL-DEL and click Processes - find the process and
"end-task." <-- I want to stop doing this!
I'm looking for something that will end a process by double clicking an
icon and the process will stop.
I'll spare you the details why I need this - Thank you!
