Start B with certain title, like this:

start "_operationB_" /MIN cmd /c call cmdB.bat

And in A you can locate B by its title and close it:

taskkill /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq _operationB_"

    You could also use the title command from B to make it more distinguished, and you can set the title at any point within the batch file, so you could, for example, use A to close B only if it's at a certain point where it might stall (title This_might_stall).
