Hi some of the wiser ones might correct me, but I thought I have to
answer the one question I could:

kill -9 pid

(pid is the id of the process you want to stop, you can find it with ps
-A)

HTH,
Ester

Always make sure that a simple kill works before taking out the Big Bad
Hammer that's known as kill -9.

I mean, always try "kill <pid>" first. If it doesn't work, then do a
"kill -9".

The reason is "kill -9" blows up the process in a way that's not too
friendly to the rest of your system or to other systems that communicate
to it via the network.

type xkill in terminal and cursor will change, then point to the
program you want to kill
