how do you go about killing a process started by a batch file? I've tried .destroy(), but it does not work whatsoever. Below is sample code:

Process myProc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mybatch.bat");
myProc.destroy(); // doesn't work.

// contents of mybatch.bat

start c:\winnt\cdplayer.exe


Does anyone know of a solution or a workaround?
