In Windows, the simplest way to delete a
process is by using the Task Manager.
For example, the cmd.exe process
can be highlighted and then End Processclicked.
That will kill the process, as long as we have permissions to
it.
However, sometimes the process you need to
kill is running under another user's credentials and Task Manager
will not allow you to kill it.
There is a solution.
If you recall from the chapter on Batch Jobs, we learned that
the at command submits jobs as the
system user. Here we
use that to our advantage.
To kill a job regardless of owner, we simply
open a command prompt and submit a Task Manager process to start
interactively within the next few minutes.
For example, if it is 9:58 AM when we need to
do this, we tell it to start at 10:00 AM (2 minutes later).
C:\>
at 10:00 /interactive taskmgr.exe
When 10:00 AM arrives, a Task Manager window will pop up on your
screen, running as System.
From there you will have full permissions to kill any process you
need to.
