Description

We are investigating adding a dcos task kill command to our DCOS (and Mesos) command line interface. Currently the ability to kill tasks is only offered via the scheduler API so it would be useful to have some ability to kill tasks directly.

This would complement the Maintenance Primitives, in that it would enable the operator to terminate those tasks which, for whatever reasons, do not respond to Inverse Offers events.
