I have found an example of how to kill a normal process, but it wont kill a system process.
I don’t want to kill a critical process, just a system process.
How can I do this?
It depends on what system are you running.
In Windows, the documentation provided is ambiguous and can be different from a version to another.
In *nix family (Mac OS X, Linux,…), you have to manipulate kernel-level threads and close them, by sending a SIGKILL signal. However, I don’t know if, even in root user, you can send them by your will.
