(Replace the $PID with the process id of the process)
if you don't know the process id you can do
killall process_name
If these don't work you can add a -9 to banish them and give them no chance to resist
Similarly, $$ is the current PID, $PPID is the parent PID. (Bash)
So 'kill -9 $$' is just suicide?
With suicide, you have a chance to get your affairs in order. kill -9 $$ is hiring an assassin to kill you and not tell you when it will happen. It happens suddenly without warning.
You can type seppuku for that
Also please refresh my memory on how to find the process ID
You can do
ps aux | grep -i
and the PID is in the second column of the output. However for this use case I recommend a process manager like htop or btop
I use ps -aux | grep $EXECUTABLE
htop or any process monitor will tell you.
Pidof
top for Ubuntu at least will show you the top processes, I think sorted by averaged CPU usage.
You probably want to get on the habit of using pkill instead of killall in case you're ever on a different system. You could have a surprise.
It's easy. Just open up a terminal and type
