kill process with htop
After executing sudo htop
, just use the arrow keys to select the process you want to remove and then press either F9
or k
then select which signal you want to send in the list (using the arrow keys) and press enter
.
If you just to ask "politely" a process to quit use 3 SIGQUIT
.
If you want to make sure the process quits use 9 SIGKILL
.
It is possible to tag (and untag) a process with [space]. To the tagged process(es) the kill signal will be sent.
use htop
and note down the PID of the process.
Exit by entering q
then enter the command :
kill PID
If it is owned by the root, then :
sudo kill PID
Hope this'll help you ....
