kill remote job initiated by invoke-command

what is the easy way to kill remote job initiated by invoke-command with background processes?

I kick remote PS script to run legacy exe file and need a way to kill that process.

I was going to use stop-job first but as I am readin开发者_StackOverflow中文版g it works only for local processes.

Then I was going to use Remove-job -force command but if I understood right, it cannot kill running process until it completes (again my remote ps script will start another process to run exe file).

I am reading I can kill a process using wmi terminate command but I do not know how to get PID of remote process (I cannot use name because I can kill processes from other users)

what is the best way to achieve my goal?

my script looks like that:

invoke-command -computername server1,server2,server3..etc -script-block {my.exe} -asjob

loop to wait for all processes to complete and report progress

   check for CTRL-C press and kill all remote instances on {my.exe}

ok checked this morning from work and this works fine from a calling script:

get-job | remove-job -force 

I was confused by MSDN doc which says:

When you stop a background job, Windows PowerShell **completes** all tasks that are pending in that job queue and then ends the job

Check out this answer, you can add the start process command to your script block and return the pid or save it to a text file to be reference later.
