# Command Detail - K

## kill

The equivalent of bash's `kill` is:

```
stop-process
```

A typical usage in Powershell might be:

```
# find the process
get-process | select id, ProcessName | where {$_.processname -like 'iex*'}

# kill the process
stop-process 5240
```

There is a built in alias `kill` which translates to stop-process

```
