Why doesn't this code kill the process?

Process.Start(jrekeypath);

Thread.Sleep(5);

foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses())
{
    if (clsProcess.ProcessName.StartsWith("javaw"))
    {
        clsProcess.Kill();
    }
}

It doesn't kill the process. Is there any problem in this snippet?

Ditto the 5ms answer above, but you could also try keeping the process handle around and re-using that, e.g.

var javawProcess = Process.Start(jrekeypath);
Thread.Sleep(5000);
javawProcess.Kill();

5 ms is not an extremely long time. Could it be that the process has in fact not yet started when your code looks for it, but instead starts shortly afterwards?
