*********** running process in linux?

@coty_beier 

To kill a running process in Linux, you can use the kill command. To use the kill command, you need to know the process ID (PID) of the process that you want to kill.

Here's an example of how to use the kill command to kill a process with a PID of 12345:

1

kill 12345

You can also use the killall command to kill all processes with a specific name. For example, to kill all processes with the name "firefox", you can use the following command:

1

killall firefox

If you want to kill a process and all of its child processes, you can use the pkill command with the -9 option, which sends a SIGKILL signal to the process. For example, to kill all processes with the name "firefox" and their child processes, you can use the following command:

1

pkill -9 firefox

It's important to note that the kill, killall, and pkill commands can be dangerous if used improperly, as they can cause programs to terminate unexpectedly and potentially lose data. Use these commands with caution.
