You can use wildcard characters to terminate multiple applications.
/F Forces the process to terminate. Using this option can cause data loss by terminating an
application before it has saved any changes the user had made.
/T Terminates the process and any processes started by the process. The TaskKill command
removes all of the processes that the application creates. This is the best option to use for an
application that has frozen because there isn??™t any guarantee the application will clean up after
itself.
Listing Applications and Services with the TaskList Command
The TaskList command provides a lot more information than Task Manager, but it??™s also harder
to use. You can use TaskList to find specific information about services and applications running
on your system. For example, you can determine which services are running or perhaps locked up
(not responding). To get a display similar to the one shown in Task Manager, type TaskList at the
command prompt and press Enter. You??™ll see a list of the standard applications running on your
system as shown in Figure 21.2.
