tskill

The tskill command line tool is a utility available in Windows operating systems. It stands for "Task Kill" and is used to terminate running processes.

The syntax for the tskill command is relatively simple, with the process ID (PID) or process name being specified to end a specific task. It can also be used to remotely terminate processes on a different device by specifying the device's name or IP address.

For example, to terminate a process with a specific PID, the command tskill <PID> is used. Alternatively, tskill <process_name> can be used to end a process by its name.

The tskill command offers a quick and efficient way to stop running processes. It can be useful when dealing with misbehaving or unresponsive applications, allowing users to forcefully terminate them.

It is important to note that tskill can potentially end critical system processes, which may lead to unexpected behavior or system instability. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using this tool.

tskill is a helpful tool for sysadmins, IT technicians, and power users who need to quickly terminate processes from the command line interface without having to navigate through graphical user interfaces.
