How to Stop/End/Kill Processes on Linux for Beginners (Ubuntu 20.04) – Savvy Tip #2
A Tutorial for Beginners About How to Stop/End/Kill Processes on Linux. We’ll use Ubuntu 20.04 to explore How to Kill a Process both through a Graphical and Terminal method. This is intended for Beginner Linux Users who need to Kill a Rogue Process just like you can in Windows. Linux Beginners get an explanation of how to view and kill processes.
Sometimes you need to stop, end, or kill a process on Linux because it’s not running anymore or just doesn’t want to work correctly. What if a process starts taking too much memory because of a memory leak? Well this is a similar way to stop processes as you would find in Windows. If you are using another distribution besides something ubuntu/debian based you will still be able to kill a process using the terminal method shown.
