Script to end a specific process

Question

Is it possible to create a script which would in turn end a specific process?

I need to end the chromedriver.exe (Even if more than one process running):

Get-Process -Name "chromedriver" | Stop-Process in PowerShell. — Thomas Glaser

You can do this using TaskKill

taskkill /F /IM processname.exe /T

For using you should use powershell, that would be easy. Let me give the answer

For conditional operation, you can use powershell;

if(Get-Process -Name ProcessName)
{
"Process is running. So ending the process"
Get-Process -Name ProcessName | Stop-Process -Force
}
Else
{
"Process is not running"
}
