What can I use for a program or a batch file (bat) using Task Schedular, to make a program or processor close at a certain time?
For example, say I am running netscape.exe all night. At 8a, I want something to close or kill that progam for me.
What can I do?

Sorry. Did not work. I tried:

C:\>net stop sfc.exe
System error 1060 has occurred.
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

C:\>net stop c:\windows\sfc.exe
System error 123 has occurred.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

C:\>net stop C:\programs\Sfc\Sfc.exe
System error 123 has occurred.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Sorry. This shuts down the entire PC. I need something to close a program/processor. This thing was going to power my machine off only.
Sorry.
