You may have many
experiences where you were in need of killing a NAV Application Server or NAV Service
Tier Windows Service which has been stuck
at stopping. Basically, you may have wanted to get this done without needing to reboot a
server in the middle of the day.
Here’s what you
need to do:
Step 1. Find out the Service Name
To do this, go in
to services and double click on the service which has stuck. Make a note
of the “Service Name”.
Step 2. Find out the PID of the service
Open an elevated
command prompt and type in:
sc queryex servicename
Make note of the
PID
Step 3. Kill the PID
From the same
command prompt type in:
taskkill /f /pid [PID]
Be careful of
what you are killing though. If you kill a critical windows service you
may end up forcing the machine to reboot on it own.
