One possible problem with using the methodology in the Dave Roth script is
that I want to be able to differentiate between the two different programs
on the remote machine that run as the same process name, i.e.:

1644) WinBatch.exe ( C:\Program Files\WinBatch\System\WinBatch.exe )
 312) WinBatch.exe ( C:\Program Files\WinBatch\System\WinBatch.exe )

It would work better to be able to identify the process to be killed by its
window title and then some how kill it.
