KILLEM.EXE kills running processes by name. It works with OS/2 2.0 and is
a 32-bit app, so it won't run on 1.x. If you want a version that runs on 1.x,
E-Mail me and I'll send you my 16-bit version.
KILLEM.EXE uses the undocumented API DosQProcStatus to get a list of running
processes - therefore its stability is in question because IBM could change
or remove this API without telling anyone. But this API stayed the same from
1.1 to 1.3 so I would doubt that the 2.0 version will change in any 2.x
release...
Usage: KILLEM process-name process-name ...
If no extension is given for process-name, .EXE is appended. process-name is
the name that the program was started with.
For example, if you ran a program by typing MYPROG or 'START MYPROG' on the
command line, you would type 'KILLEM MYPROG' to kill it.
All instances of all process-names will be killed unless those processes
ignore KillProcess signals (Most don't).
Any comments, suggestions, bug reports can be sent to my CIS id 72251,750.
Hope this utility proves useful.
