Hi, I am in section 4 and I am unable to kill the process after hitting bg
Hi @tc3021,
if you have a process running and want to run it in background, you have to first press CTRL+z
This will put the process in stopped mode in background.
To make it run in background, then after the ctrl +z
you type bg
Please be aware that the bg
command has to be executed in the same shell/terminal where you ran ctrl+z
.
Please let us know in case the problem persists.
Hi,
I have executed “Ctrl+Z” then entered"kill PID" and then “bg”, from here it is endlessly running and I cannot stop the process even if I enter “Ctrl+C”. I also cannot enter “Ctrl+Z” again.
Can you please help me.
Hi @mathew.blevin,
if you have the PID, you can force its termination using the -9
signal when calling kill.
Something like: kill -9 PID_HERE
In the last case, you can try just reloading the page. That would refresh the terminals.
