    <p>You have a multiple options:</p> <p>First, you can use <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/kill" rel="noreferrer"><strong>kill</strong></a>. But you need the pid of your process, which you can get by using <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/ps" rel="noreferrer"><strong>ps</strong></a>, <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/8/pidof" rel="noreferrer"><strong>pidof</strong></a> or <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/pgrep" rel="noreferrer"><strong>pgrep</strong></a>.</p> <pre><code>ps -A // to get the pid, can be combined with grep -or- pidof &lt;name&gt; -or- pgrep &lt;name&gt; kill &lt;pid&gt; </code></pre> <p>It is possible to kill a process by just knowing the name. Use <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/pkill" rel="noreferrer"><strong>pkill</strong></a> or <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/killall" rel="noreferrer"><strong>killall</strong></a>.</p> <pre><code>pkill &lt;name&gt; -or- killall &lt;name&gt; </code></pre> <p>All commands send a signal to the process. If the process hung up, it might be neccessary to send a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGKILL" rel="noreferrer"><strong>sigkill</strong></a> to the process (this is signal number 9, so the following examples do the same):</p> <pre><code>pkill -9 &lt;name&gt; pkill -SIGKILL &lt;name&gt; </code></pre> <p>You can use this option with <code>kill</code> and <code>killall</code>, too.</p> <p>Read this article about <a href="http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x5368.htm" rel="noreferrer">controlling processes</a> to get more informations about processes in general.</p>
