Are there any proven tools to assist in starting/stopping
an executable application program at given times.

Example: Start abc.exe @7:00am
Stop abc.exe @3:00am

Task Scheduler
 
Task Scheduler works great when starting programs - just
so-so when stopping. I need to specifically stop one at a
given time and guarantee it's stopped every day - I'm
trying to find any tools such as PsKill
from "SysInternals" to do this.

Just schedule a batch file at the stop time to kill the app.
Use PSKill, RKill, Kill, or whatever - they all work.
