# Kill A Process In Linux

To kill a process, first we need to know its process ID (PID), to do that we can use `pidof` command.

## Find PID of a Process

```bash
$ pidof {PROCESS_NAME}
```

## Kill a Process

```bash
$ kill {PROCESS_ID}
```

### Kill all the process with a program name

```bash
$ killall {PROGRAM_NAME}
```

### Using htop

We can also kill a process interactively using `htop` command.
