How to find the process id of a running Java process on Windows? And how to kill the process alone?

Question

I want to kill the particular Java process in Windows, like in Linux (ps -aux to get processid and then kill processid to kill the process).

Answer 1

You can use the jps utility that is included in the JDK to find the process id of a Java process. The output will show you the name of the executable JAR file or the name of the main class.

Then use the Windows task manager to terminate the process. If you want to do it on the command line, use

TASKKILL /PID %PID%
