In Windows there is the keyboard combination to kill the process: that CTL+ALT+DEL.
In Linux you can do it in some other ways.
go to all Programmes and find System Monitor. Select the Programme to be stopped. Then “Kill the Process”.
The kill command works together with the ps command
With the ps command (ps stands for “process status”) you find out the identity of the program you want to get rid of.
Then kill will finish it off.
Here’s how you do it:
Open terminal and type: ps ux
This will show a listing of processes similar to:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
jhaas 3064 0.1 3.6 18324 9088 ? S 17:55 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session
jhaas 3107 0.0 0.3 3128 968 ? S 17:55 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
jhaas 3112 0.1 2.9 11208 7376 ? S 17:55 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 11
….
If you want to terminate for example the gnome-session process, find out the process identifier (PID)(here it is 3064)
and then type in the terminal:
kill -9 3064.
The -9 will ensure “execution”.
Suppose you want to stop Skype and don’t to look for the PID, then you can type in the terminal:
pkill skype
It will close the running Skype Programme.
