If I'm running many instances of cmd.exe and only know the name of .bat file one of them executes, could I use taskkill to find and kill exact cmd.exe process?

I would suggest another solution:
wmic process get caption,commandline,processid
I could see .bat file name as parameter for cmd invoked by at command.

I don't see anything in /V that the poster could use that'd do it. If you run a batch file like a.bat with the line pause, then try to find which cmd.exe is running it. your answer doesn't do that. i've improved his title– barlopJun 5, 2012 at 9:07

What system are you using? On my win2k3srv I can see 'Window Title' column and for CMD when you run command it appears on tittle bar.– Greg0ryJun 5, 2012 at 9:11

As far as I can see it works pretty much like 'ps ax' in linux. So in my example I can see 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe - tasklist /V' in this column.– Greg0ryJun 5, 2012 at 9:17

(I use gnuwin32 hence grep), I did something like tasklist /V | grep -i "bat" so I saw pretty quickly it didn't show.. and I noticed a.bat doesn't show in task manager, i'm not sure if/where it shows in process explorer, but if it does then a cmd line version should do it though i don't know if it does or if there is one...– barlopJun 5, 2012 at 10:23
