Command Line Process Viewer/Killer/Suspender for Windows NT/2000/XP

Normally when we want to close a particular task to close we press CTRL+ALT+DEL key to view the Windows Task Manager and close it. Sometimes we get error and wont allow you to close it. Here is a small utility which is available for free to close the program named Command Line Process Viewer/Killer/Suspender. This is a small command line utility to view, kill, suspend or set the priority and affinity of processes. Is a virus disabled your Task Manager? . . or perhaps your Administrator has?
The Command Line Process Utility will function even when the task manager is disabled and/or the dreaded "Task Manager has been disabled by your Administrator" dialog box appears.
Works on remote machines with the Microsoft Telnet Server (tlntsvr) found on Windows 2000 and XP or with
BeyondExec for Windows NT4/2000/XP.
This utility really helps a lot for me personally. So I am suggesting this tool for everyone.

But why do we need this utility when Windows already has something for it. Windows comes with "tasklist" (to see the running processes) and to kill the process you can use taskkill/kill (cant recall the exact name)

Can you tell me exactly the name of the exe to kill the process in windows 2000/NT/XP/2003? This utility works in windows 2000/NT/XP/2003.

Use tasklist to get the PID and then use taskkill to kill the process. See (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/taskkill.mspx?mfr=true)

It is there in Windows XP, not sure about others.
