:exit

Windows equivalent of pkill command for java-processes. Add JDK bin directory to PATH environment variable. Usage:

javakill glassfish

Searches java process with JVM options contains 'glassfish' substring and kills them if it is only one. If there are several matching processes, user will be asked to confirm a killing first of them.

javakill glassfish /Q

If ambigious, first found process will be killed without confirmation. Remaining processes won't be touched.

javakill glassfish /A

User will be asked to confirm to kill all matching processes.

javakill glassfish /Q /A

All matching processes will be killed without any confirmation.
