Post subject: How to use pskill or kill ... to kill a process with a name like "Hello There" Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win2000>general (more info?)
Hi !
Normally, I find that a process would have a image name like
svchost.exe. But I have a program which does not have extension and
has a space in it, eg "Hello There" (not the real image name).
I try to use pskill or kill command to remove it but it does not
work. I don't want to kill it by the taskid as I want to kill it via
a batch.
So any advice how to kill such procoesses ?

Have you tried quotes around the process name?
pskill "my long program name"

Yes. Already tried... pskill says Process does not exist.
Kill - no output but process still running.

But I dont' want to kill by process number if possible. The reason is
that I'm running it in a batch and I can't hardcode the process
number.

Kill it by its process number. TList.exe or tasklist.exe will give
you the number.

That's no valid reason at all! The following batch file will
do exactly what you want:
@echo off
for /F %%a in ('tlist ^| find /i "Outlook"') do echo kill %%a
Remove the word "echo" in order to activate the kill command.

Thanks. Yet to try this cause I use the pskill or kill command. Don't
have the tlist command. Will search for it. Thanks again.

I'm sure there is a tlist/tasklist equivalent in the famous
stable of tools at www.sysinternals.com.
