NS.kill() method

Kills the script on the target server specified by the script’s 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.

Signature:

kill(script: Script, host: Host, ...args: string[]): boolean;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
script	Script	Filename of the script to kill
host	Host	Hostname or IP of the server on which to kill the script.
args	string[]	Arguments to identify which script to kill.

Returns:

boolean

True if the script is successfully killed, and false otherwise.
