Is there an equivalent for the "killall" command on UNIX for the PC?
Unix/Linux runs on a PC (Personal Computer).
If you mean Windows, no.

I was going to say that. =p
Hm, I think that through some API you can get a process list (Task Manager does it, obviously), and then you can sort through the list, and kill stuff. Good luck. =)

That shows you how to list processes and stuff. All thats left is killing them, now.
Check out www.sysinternals.net -- if anybody has a program that could do it, they do.
I F***in love the Process Explorer (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html) they have, and its set as my default task manager.
Edit:
If you all are wondering, its very customizable, and I find this works very well:

Since everybody else seen to be saying good things about it, it's my turn.
It's a great program, but I don't recommend replacing taskmgr with it. In times when I critically need taskmgr (usually when I'm running 100000000 programs at once to see what'll happen), Process Explorer craps out. Taskmgr, on the other hand, actually manages to start against the odds.
That's about the only problem I have :)
I don't trust your opinion since you only use Windows once in a blue moon :D
