Thread: How to kill the process

Hi. I am new in computer world. I would like to how kill any process. I search on net but I didn’t get exact answer. Anybody knows how to kill process then let me know that. It is highly appreciated.

Run the following command :

ps -ef | grep -i 'process name'

Observe the pid of the process and kill with the following command

kill -9 process id

First you take pid using ps,prstat command

kill -9 pid >> -9 for unrestricted kill

pkill process_name

First of all do the following:

kill -15 process_id or

pkill -15 process_id

if it does not terminate in a correct method then problem

kill -9 process_id or

pkill -9 process_id
