Question

How do I kill this process in linux(ubuntu)?

Answer 1

pkill is the easiest command line utility

pkill -f node

or

pkill -f nodejs

whatever name the process runs as for your os

Answer 2

You can use the killall command as follows:

killall node

Answer 3

Run ps aux | grep nodejs, find the PID of the process you're looking for, then run kill starting with SIGTERM (kill -15 25239). If that doesn't work then use SIGKILL instead, replacing -15 with -9.

Answer 4

if you want to kill a specific node process , you can go to command line route and type:

ps aux | grep node

to get a list of all node process ids. now you can get your process id(pid), then do:

kill -9 PID

and if you want to kill all node processes then do:

killall -9 node

-9 switch is like end task on windows. it will force the process to end. you can do:

kill -l

to see all switches of kill command and their comments.

Answer 5

sudo netstat -lpn |grep :'3000'

3000 is port i was looking for, After first command you will have Process ID for that port

kill -9 1192

in my case 1192 was process Id of process running on 3000 PORT use -9 for Force kill the process

Answer 6

In order to kill use: killall -9 /usr/bin/node

To reload use: killall -12 /usr/bin/node
