Apple - How to "killall" Visual Studio Code in Terminal?
I have Visual Studio Code, version 1.1.1, installed and on my system the following works for me:
kill -9 $(pgrep Electron)
Update: Just tested with Visual Studio Code, version 1.14.1, under macOS 10.12.5 and the above command closes Code and Code Helper that show in Activity Monitor.
PS: killall Electron
also works.
Alternative for Mac OS (Darwin) is:
osascript -e 'quit app "Visual Studio Code"'
- use Activity Monitor to get the process id of "Code" ( -> PID)
- run
ps -ef | grep PID
to get the process name as known to the OS - run
killall <process name>
