How to kill a process at Runtime

Posted by Anand Saripella on January 25, 2001 at 9:49 PM

I wanted to know whether a process (any .exe file)is running and if it does, then I would like to destroy it. I know how to start a process using the Runtime.getRuntime.exec("someexe.exe"). But how do I find out if "someexe.exe" is running and then kill/destroy it. Thanks in advance.
