Setting function keys to perform action

You can use WScript.StdIn.Read or ReadLine and check the return string like so:

WScript.StdOut.Write("Please type a command key: ");
var key = WScript.StdIn.Read(1);
if (key == "k") WScript.Echo("Killing <process>");

To kill a process you can use WMI if the target computer supports it:

WScript.StdOut.Write("Please type a process name (with extension) to kill: ");
var name = WScript.StdIn.ReadLine();

var wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\.\\root\\cimv2");
var procs = wmi.ExecQuery("select * from Win32_Process where Name = '" + name + "'");
var e = new Enumerator(procs);
for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
var proc = e.item();
WScript.Echo("Terminating process ID " + proc.ProcessId);
proc.Terminate();
}
