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"); ```
