To kill all instances of an application us the command **killall**
|
|
|
|
It can be tedious to find all the processes you are trying to kill based on process id. There is a cool little command that can do the work for you, killall.
|
|
|
|
You can kill all instances of a misbehaving program:
|
|
|
|
> $sudo killall discord
|
|
|
|
Or you can kill using wild cards:
|
|
|
|
> $sudo killall node\*
|
|
|
|
If you want to check what you will kill you can use the command:
|
|
|
|
> $ps aux | grep node\*
|
