Run in powershell
taskkill /F /IM python.exe
Make a right click on empty space of task bar and choose from menu 'task manager', look over list processes and when you spot "sublime"(or python process), make a right click on it and choose - "kill process tree". If you want more details about running processes you might want to use much better program than "task manager", it called "Process Explorer" that can be downloaded from official microsoft site
taskkill /IM python.exe /F
This will force to kill the python.
To kill a task/process either by using the process id or by the image file name.
taskkill /IM executablename
OR
First detects if a process is running, then kills
tasklist | find /i "executablename.exe" && taskkill /im "executablename.exe" /F || echo process "executablename.exe" not running

So i want to make a little deamon who monitor the processes in windows. I know from cmd i would usually use tasklist. Then if xyz.exe is running, i want to kill it (taskkill /IM xyz.exe /f" im starting at programming and i have no clue how to do this. Plus i would like it to check every 5 minute for that process, and i want it to run in background without being in the taskbar. Someone could point me in the right direction?
Edit: it will run in Win10
I would think you could just use taskkill and the Python os.system()
import os
os.system("taskkill /im make.exe")
Note: I would just note you might have to fully qualify the taskkill path. I am using a Linux box so I can't test...
Yes,You can do it
import os
os.system("taskkill /f /im Your_Process_Name.exe")
- /f : Specifies that process(es) be forcefully terminated.
- /im (ImageName ): Specifies the image name of the process to be terminated.

You can also do it if you use the exit() function in your code. More ideally, you can do sys.exit(). sys.exit() which might terminate Python even if you are running things in parallel through the multiprocessing package.
Note: In order to use the sys.exit(), you must import it: import sys
To stop your program, just press Control + C.
You will have to find the process id (pid). one command to do this would be
$> ps -ef
to limit results to python processes you can grep the result
$> ps -ef | grep python
which will give results like :
user 2430 1 0 Jul03 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
the second column is the pid. then use the kill command as such :
$> kill -9 2430 (i.e. the pid returned)
Try this simple line, It will terminate all script.py:
pkill -9 -f script.py
psutil can find process by name and kill it:
import psutil
PROCNAME = "python.exe"
for proc in psutil.process_iter():
# check whether the process name matches
if proc.name() == PROCNAME:
proc.kill()
Assuming you're on a Unix-like platform (so that ps -A exists),
>>> import subprocess, signal
>>> import os
>>> p = subprocess.Popen(['ps', '-A'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
>>> out, err = p.communicate()
gives you ps -A's output in the out variable (a string). You can break it down into lines and loop on them...:
>>> for line in out.splitlines():
... if 'iChat' in line:
... pid = int(line.split(None, 1)[0])
... os.kill(pid, signal.SIGKILL)
...
(you could avoid importing signal, and use 9 instead of signal.SIGKILL, but I just don't particularly like that style, so I'd rather used the named constant this way).
Of course you could do much more sophisticated processing on these lines, but this mimics what you're doing in shell.
If what you're after is avoiding ps, that's hard to do across different Unix-like systems (ps is their common API to get a process list, in a sense). But if you have a specific Unix-like system in mind, only (not requiring any cross-platform portability), it may be possible; in particular, on Linux, the /proc pseudo-filesystem is very helpful. But you'll need to clarify your exact requirements before we can help on this latter part.
