kill process with htop

After executing sudo htop, just use the arrow keys to select the process you want to remove and then press either F9 or k then select which signal you want to send in the list (using the arrow keys) and press enter.

If you just to ask "politely" a process to quit use 3 SIGQUIT.

If you want to make sure the process quits use 9 SIGKILL.

It is possible to tag (and untag) a process with [space]. To the tagged process(es) the kill signal will be sent.

use htop and note down the PID of the process. Exit by entering q

then enter the command :

kill PID

If it is owned by the root, then :

sudo kill PID

Hope this'll help you ....
