Default Start Windows Task Manager by command-line (or batch file)

Hi to all,
batch file launched by desktop shortcut (WinNT, win2000 e WinXp). Its task
is to do some elaboration if and only if some processes are inactive, that
is if the user had first stopped the application.

Is that possible inside a batch file?
I know executable's names (the same appeared into Windows Task Manager
Processes table), how could I discover if there are active processes with
that name?
And if I would to kill them?

It would be enough to start Windows Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) by
command-line/batch file but I didn't reach it!
It must be possible to do that!
Almost all executables can be launched by shell with some flag to hide their
GUI.
I just need to:
1. start Windows Task Manager inside my batch file
2. list all active processes
3. discover the wanted-processes (if there are...)
4. kill them

Note: I strongly prefer no turn to external program, it would be better to
do all that only with Windows resources, (otherwise I need to install that
program too...)

Thanks in advance, ciao
G.


P.S. Sorry if I post here, my question is not about win9x rather nt-2000-xp.
But my hope is that if exists a way to manage the Task Manager by command
line in win9x o.s. it will work in more recent o.s. too.

What you are talking about sounds like a Windows script rather than a batch
file.

put finger to keyboard and
composed:

IMO, a much better group for this question is alt.msdos.batch.nt. Some
very clever batch experts hang out there.
