Combining these 2 threads:

1. how to get PID from command line filtered by username and imagename
2. how to get own process pid from the command prompt in windows

you can write down something like this in a simple cmd file (akillfile.cmd)

title=dontkillme
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims= " %%A IN ('TASKLIST /FI ^"WINDOWTITLE eq dontkillme^" /NH') DO SET tid=%%A
echo %tid%
taskkill /F /IM cmd.exe /FI ^"PID ne %tid%^"
