Can Taskmgr end a process from the command line?

I know how to end a task using Task Manager. But I'd like
to invoke TaskManager (or some other program) from the
"MS-DOS" command line to end a task. E.g., "taskmgr kill <process name>".

Is there a way?. If not, is there some other "kill" program that I can start from the command line?

Thanks very much for utils.zip.

But I realize I didn't write my question properly.

I'm looking for a "already built-into NT" method of killing a program by name from the command line. Since Task Manager is able to do this graphically, I'm hoping it can also be done from the command ;ine (e.g., using Task Manager or some other program that ships with NT).

In fact, I wrote my own program that seems to work, but I don't trust it enough to give to my customers (I could be in trouble if it had some expensive side effect). That's why I'm hoping that some Microsoft NT program or NT Resource Kit program can do the job.

So I appreciate your response (grade = excellent) and I'll resubmit my question -- hopefully more clearly.

Hi guys,

could you please let me know how to 'End a task using Task Manager by process ID from command prompt.

I tried the above site; not there.

Thanks.
