'Close a batch launched in VBScript with intWindowStyle 0

I have a scheduled task that launches a VBScript with parameters which launches a hidden bat.

This bat executes a routine in a endless loop. The only way to be sure the bat is still running is from the TaskManager

If I want to close the batch I have to look for it there and kill the process.

Is there any other way to check if that batch is running or set a name to that process so I can look for it.

My Script code:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
WshShell.Run """Path to bat"" " & WScript.Arguments.Item(0) & " """ & WScript.Arguments.Item(1) & """", 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

batch-file

set a title in the batch file:

title Test

Create another batch-file, let's call it killer.cmd:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
tasklist /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Test" | findstr "cmd.exe"
if "%errorlevel%" equ "0" (
    Choice /c YN /M "kill process?"
    if "!errorlevel!" equ "1" taskkill /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Test"
) else (
    echo Window Title does not exist.
)

To see if the process exists (by title) run killer.cmd which will list the title and if found, it will prompt if you want to kill it by using choice
