1. Assign a unique Title to your bat:

@echo off 
Title Keep_Yourself_Alive

2. List with For /F the process PID of each CMD and Timeout with Tasklist and Finsdtr:

for /f tokens^=3delims^=^" %%i in ('tasklist /v /fo csv|findstr "cmd.exe timeout.exe"... 

3. One additional Findstr can be used to list only PIDs that does not match your unique Taskkill

... ^|findstr /vi "Keep_Yourself_Alive" ... 

4. Use Taskkill with PID to kill the entire CMD.exe + Timeout process (if running*)

... ')do taskkill /F /PID %%i
