Hey, guys.

I need to get all running processes list, and kill one. (example: 
Find all processes and if skype.exe is running, kill it.)

I assume it would be similar on Windows, since you will need to go 
through the OS in any case, but this is a simple, hastily written 
example since no one else has answered.

And instead of "system" use "shell"

If you're already using `shell`: shell("killall %s".format(process));

Sounds like a fantastic tool! I'd love to see it when it's done! I
might actually start using the PC version of Skype :)
