Programmatic killing connections

We want to create canned database restore jobs - possibly
as DTS packages.
We believe we need a way to find and kill database
connections, so that the actual restore can proceed.
Anyone done this ?
TIAHi Jim
Killing connections is one way. Another is to put the database into single
user mode, using the rollback immediate option, eg:
alter database [dbname] set single_user with rollback immediate
Check out ALTER DATABASE in Books Online for more info:
