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

// 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

// 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");
