Actually, you can kill something without needing the PID.
You can execute the following:
kill notepad
and that will kill all occurances of notepad running...
usage: KILL [options] <<pid> | <pattern>>
[options]:
-f Force process kill
<pid>
This is the process id for the task
to be killed. Use TLIST to get a
valid pid
<pattern>
The pattern can be a complete task
name or a regular expression pattern
to use as a match. Kill matches the
supplied pattern against the task names
and the window titles.
