How to get the process ID to kill a nohup process?

Question

I\'m running a nohup process on the server. When I try to kill it my putty console closes instead.

this is how I try to find the process ID:

ps -ef |         


        

Answer 1

Suppose you are executing a java program with nohup you can get java process id by

`ps aux | grep java`

output

xxxxx     9643  0.0  0.0  14232   968 pts/2   

then you can kill the process by typing

sudo kill 9643

or lets say that you need to kill all the java processes then just use

sudo killall java

this command kills all the java processors. you can use this with process. just give the process name at the end of the command

sudo killall {processName}
