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*
