Remove a running process from memory in DOS
KILL (Resource kit) Remove a running process from memory. Syntax KILL [option] process_id KILL [option] task_name KILL [option] window_title Option -f Force process kill Note: Kill -f basically just nukes the process from existence, potentially leaking a lot of memory and losing any data that the process hadn't committed to disk yet. It is there for worst case scenarios - when you absolutely must end the process now, and don't care whether proper cleanup gets done or not.
