The closest thing that exists is the BREAK command.
	Syntax:   BREAK task {all|c|d|e|f}

Break sets a signal bit(s) for the task in question.  It is the responsibility
if the "breaking" task to check these bits from time to time, cleanup and
exit if one is found.  AmigaDOS dows NOT keep track of resources in use by a 
given task and therefore if a task was halted (without its active cooperation
all memory, files, devices, ... would remain "in use".
