User · Answer

This is specific to Windows  I was facing the same issue where I have to kill one specific java program using taskkill  When I run the java program  tasklist was showing the same program with Image name set as java exe  But killing it using taskkill  F java exe will stop all other java applications other than intended one which is not required   So I run the same java program using   start  MyProgramName  java java-program     Here start command will open a new window and run the java program with window s title set to MyProgramName   Now to kill this java-program use the following taskkill command   taskkill  fi  MyProgramName    Your Java program will be killed only  Rest will be unaffected

You can use the jps utility that is included in the JDK to find the process id of a Java process  The output will show you the name of the executable JAR file or the name of the main class  Then use the Windows task manager to terminate the process  If you want to do it on the command line  use TASKKILL  PID  PID

The solution I found is very simple  Use Window s WMIC  amp  Java s Runtime to locate  amp  kill the process   Part 1  You need to put some sort of identifier into your app s startup command line  E g  something like   String id    com domain app     Part 2  When you run your app  make sure to include the string  Let s say you start it from within Java  do the following   Runtime getRuntime   exec      C      javaw exe -cp     -Dwhatever     id     com domain app Main       Part 3  To kill the process  use Window s WMIC  Just make sure you app was started containing your id from above   Runtime getRuntime   exec     wmic process Where   CommandLine Like       id         Call Terminate
