How to kill a task in batch?

I am having problems with the taskkill in batch, I am trying to kill a vbscript that is in sleep for an x amount of seconds. So basically I want to kill this task: https://i.sstatic.net/rxgAL.png

But I somehow seem to get it wrong, I have no clue what part of the task I have to write in the taskkill x

Thank you in advance!

VBScripts do have a timeout parameter - see cscript /?.

taskkill /im wscript.exe /im cscript.exe /f

will kill all running vbscripts.

If you want to be particular how do you tell the running scripts apart.

This will kill it without knowing the pid, however it will kill all instances of wscript.exe.

TASKKILL /F /IM wscript.exe

From the task manager top menu, select to show the Process ID for this running process.

Then on command prompt,

  taskkill /pid 1234

Where 1234 id the Process ID you want to kill.
