1. Exercise: Stop the Runaway (Journeyman): Find three practice programs left running with no window, stop the runaway by its Id after a -WhatIf rehearsal, then write two tools, stop-runaway.ps1, which stops processes by a word in their command line and supports -WhatIf, and start-export.ps1, which starts a long export with no window and saves its Id, and let a Pester check tell you what's done.
