pkill NAMEofPROC
killall -9 NAMEofPROC

kill -9 $(pidof NAMEofPROC)
kill $(pgrep NAMEofPROC)
killall -v NAMEofPROC

#or find PID (Process id)
ps aux | grep NAMEofPROC
pidof NAMEofPROC

# and kill PID (Process id)
kill PID
kill -9 PID
kill -SIGKILL PID

# old way
kill `ps -ef | grep NAMEofPROC | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $2}’`
