RAM cost: 0.5 GB
Kills the script on the target server specified by the scripts name and arguments. Remember that scripts are uniquely identified by both their name and arguments. For example, if `foo.script` is run with the argument 1, then this is not the same as `foo.script` run with the argument 2, even though they have the same code.
## Example 1
```ts
// NS1:
//The following example will try to kill a script named foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was ran with no arguments:
kill("foo.script", "foodnstuff");
//The following will try to kill a script named foo.script on the current server that was ran with no arguments:
kill("foo.script", getHostname());
//The following will try to kill a script named foo.script on the current server that was ran with the arguments 1 and “foodnstuff”:
kill("foo.script", getHostname(), 1, "foodnstuff");
```
## Example 2
```ts
// NS2:
//The following example will try to kill a script named foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was ran with no arguments:
ns.kill("foo.script", "foodnstuff");
//The following will try to kill a script named foo.script on the current server that was ran with no arguments:
ns.kill("foo.script", getHostname());
//The following will try to kill a script named foo.script on the current server that was ran with the arguments 1 and “foodnstuff”:
ns.kill("foo.script", getHostname(), 1, "foodnstuff");
