Close program running on remote server

Is there a way to close a program running on a remote server by running a php script (via cron) that first checks to see if a specific program is running (Quick Books in my case) & if it is, closes it?

I think the server is running WindowsServer 2012; that was not an available topic.

Thanks

cron is not running on a Windows server, you could use psexec to connect and then kill a task as suggested. Or remotely create a scheduled task that does the kill.
