You need the process id of the program.
To get the process id (PID), use the plist utility available at sysinternals.com. Run it via the shell command, redirecting the output to a text file.
You can then read & parse the text file to find the PID. You would then use another program from sysinternals called pkill to kill the PID.
Note that if you kill the wrong process you kill Windows, making your users very angry, and likely to use a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator on you.
