Re: Kill a process
There is the System.exit() method that will force your program to stop execution, but you need to be careful using this, especially if you have either an Event driven model or a multi-threaded program.
System.exit(0); // 0 is the return value, any int is acceptable
Re: Kill a process
Subhvi, what you are proposing is not possible through Java alone. Java runs in the JVM which means it doesnt have access to anything going on outside of the JVM. If you want to do this you would have to look into an approach like using JNI to code a C solution using the windows functions which you can then call from within Java.

Chris

PLEASE WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
Re: Kill a process
You may want to try using the Runtime.exec() function. You can try to retrieve a process ID for a running app, then run another exec command to try and shutdown the process. How you do so however is very platform dependent, and it may not behave universally

Re: Kill a process
Ooh.. I totally misread what you wantedI thought you wanted to kill your java program's process, but instead you want to kill a different process... yes, see the above two posts for how to do that.
