You should polish your knowledge about DOS (shudder). It is a single task
OS (?), so there is no PID (there is however some possibility to identify
TSR's) and obviously there can't be a kill command, as the only one program
that can be killed is the one currently running. Where would you issue this
kill command, at the prompt? Then you can only kill TSR's (no other
programs are running then), and this is not possible in a secure way (they
are no processes anyway).

If you'd like to get a real OS, there always are LINUX, FreeBSD, ...
