kill a proccess for a specific userI have a W2003 Server machine.
I need to have a little program that when runs, it will kill a specific process from a specific user. The reason being is that a software company that run our logistics from, wrote a bad piece of software and when it runs, it doesn't kill itself when finished. So after about 2 days, there are about 100 of this items running. I want to write a program that I can run, and it will kill all the instances of this process for me. Thank

company. The thing that bites, is that we don't have much choice. There aren't to many companies that write teh type of software we need to be able to run ours. If I knew of a software company that was local, and had some itelligent people, I would have them custom write our entire package. It would take a few months, but I would think it would be better than the crap we have now.

Beware that pskill utility will kill all processes that matches the EXE name
for all logged on users if you are a member of the Administrator group. This can be a problem if you are using a terminal server. It's a "feature" that can't be turned off in pskill. If you use pskill, run it as a regular user. Type "runas" in Command Prompt to see how to use it in a batch file, or create a shortcut and change its advanced options to run as a different user.

To find the process handle, use OpenProcess
with the process id, requesting PROCESS_TERMINATE access. To retrieve the list of process id's for the process (whose name you obviously know), there are range of options. The most obvious is probably to use EnumProcesses, then for each of the returned processes use OpenProcess requesting PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION and PROCESS_VM_READ and call GetModuleBaseName (or related PSAPI API) You can then call TerminateProcess as desired. An alternative is to call CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, followed by Process32First and Process32Next. To kill a process not belonging to yourself, you'll need TCB privilege (SE_TCB_NAME), which you'll have to map into your token by using AdjustTokenPrivileges for the relevant LUID.
