Process killing

Post by decrease789 »

I am having trouble killing a process "rsync" I've used

Code: Select all

root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -HUP 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -INT 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -QUIT 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -ABRT 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -KILL 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -ALRM 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -TERM 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -USR2 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -0 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -4 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -5 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -6 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -7 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -8 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -10 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -11 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -12 445
root@kimba:/Users/james/Music#kill -13 445
and still no luck at killing this runaway process

Anyone know a way to kill a process other than this?

Code: Select all

# pkill -f rsync
should delete all processes that match 'rsync'.
Let me guess, you picked out yet another colorful box with a crank that I'm expected to turn and turn until OOP! big shock, a jack pops out and you laugh and the kids laugh and the dog laughs and I die a little inside.
