Killing Java process

Post by Graham Clark »

Sometimes my Java programs go into an unexpected infinite loop. I run these through TextPad, so the only way to stop them is to close the "Command Results" window. However, this does not kill the Java process - I have to go into Task Manager and do this manually. Is there a way of getting TextPad to properly kill the Java process?
(this is on windows 2000)
thanks,
Graham.

If you like living dangerously you could get the cygwin package and use the command

c:\> kill java.exe

Easier yet, you could call it from a UserTool. This may kill any other java procs though.
