Question

A service running on your windows system has hung badly and will not respond when you try to use the service council two restart it. you've run the tasklist command at the command prompt and find that the service's process has a pid of 1234 assigned to it and that it has an image name of telecom.exe

Answer 1

taskkill /F /IM telecom.exe and taskkill /F /PID 1234.  Either one of the two commands (taskkill /F /IM telecom.exe or taskkill /F /PID 1234) will work in this scenario. The /IM option identifies the image name of the process to halt, while the /PID identifies the process ID number of the process to halt. Because the service’s process is hung badly, the /F option must be used with the command to forcefully terminate the process.
