Killing linux process by piping the id

Question

I want to kill a process and I get its id with:

pgrep -f \"python myscript.py\"

I would like to call

kill -s SIGINT 
         


        

Answer 1

Read the man page, pgrep and pkill are the same program. Use pkill to send a signal to one or more processes which you can select in the same way as pgrep.

pkill -INT -f "python myscript.py"
