How to kill a process

[sebpiq]

ctrl+C to interrupt the process if in the same terminal.

If the process is running in background, first find the pid (process id), by running :

ps aux | grep <some key work>

pid is the second column

then terminate the process with :

kill <pid>

If that didn't work, be less polite and force shutdown of the process with :

kill -9 <pid>
