taskkill: Terminate a process and its child processes.
$ taskkill /im ${process_name} /t
try on your machine
The command "taskkill /im ${process_name} /t" is used to terminate a specific process and all its child processes.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "taskkill" is the command-line utility in Windows used to terminate running processes.
- "/im" is an option that specifies the image name or process name of the task to be terminated.
- "${process_name}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the process you want to terminate.
- "/t" is an option that specifies to terminate the specified process and any child processes started by it.
So, when you execute this command with the actual process name, it will terminate the specified process and all its child processes.
