kill: Terminate a background job.
$ kill %${job_id}
try on your machine
The command "kill %${job_id}" is used to terminate a specific job running in the background on a Unix-like operating system.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "kill" is the command used to send a signal to a process, asking it to terminate.
- "%" indicates that the job ID following it refers to a job running in the background.
- "${job_id}" is a placeholder for the actual ID of the job you want to kill. This ID will need to be replaced with the correct value before running the command.
When you run this command with the correct job ID, it will send a signal to the specified job, requesting it to terminate.
