You said it yourself, using "kill" on linux/Unix, I don't know what more you want.

For window, I have no idea, probably some VBscript which I never use before.

You would have to get the KILL utility though. I don't think it comes with Windows.

I would use the pstools from sysinternals:

Pslist will show you running processes, there name and PID. Pskill will let you kill a process by name or PID.

They trump the windows resourse kit tools by being able to execute against a remote machine as well as local. Not sure how you would "script" it though, since you would need to know in advance what the PID or name is before you kill it. If you had a specific process in mind, like say you want to make sure spyware.exe is not running on any machine, you could simply use the name and batch it like this:

for /f %%c in (c:\temp\computerlist.txt) do pskill \\%%c spyware.exe

This assumes you have a text file of the computers you want to run pskill on in the specified location.
