Not any more or less than on Kick 1.3. Actually, there is Exec RemTask(), but even though this removes the task from getting scheduled by the system, it does not stop pending I/O operations the task initiated, and it does neither release any resources the task obtained.
Thus, for all practical purposes, AmigaOs cannot remove a running program reliably, unless the program terminates by itself. You can stop it from getting scheduled, but that is not very helpful.
