I'm a powershell newbie, but I often find myself starting and stopping a small group of services when I'm debugging some code. In Powershell I can easily stop the processes using a wildcard but it makes me confirm. There is a -confirm parameter, but I must not be using it correctly?
`Stop-Process -ProcessName alcore.* -Confirm` Can I bypass the confirm and just stop the process?
Thanks for any help, ~ck in San Diego

If the script uses Powershell cmdlets, you can specify -Confirm:$false to suppress the prompt.
The basic command syntax to forcefully kill a specific process is as follows: taskkill /PID process-number /F.
You have to use the -Confirm switch to the command to prompt the user for confirmation. It forces the command to display the confirmation prompt in PowerShell. A simpler way to use the -Confirm switch would be by using it in the Remove-Item cmdlet, which can produce a confirmation action in simpler command.
Try
stop-process -ProcessName alcore.* -Force From get-help stop-process:
On Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, to stop a process that is not owned by the current user, you must start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option. Also, you are prompted for confirmation unless you use the Force parameter.
