Kill process by command name
I would like to kill a java process based on the command name... Whats the best way to do it?
(i.e. when you do ps -f the name in the CMD column).
Simples, use pkill
pgrep, pkill - look up or signal processes based on name and other attributes
One way is with killall:
killall - kill processes by name
You can do it with killall NAME.
Also, you can use the option
-e,--exact require exact match for very long names
