killall: Terminate a process using the default SIGTERM (terminate) signal.
$ killall ${process_name}
try on your machine
The command "killall ${process_name}" is used to terminate all running processes with a specific name.
Here, "${process_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the process you want to kill. You need to replace it with the actual name of the process you want to terminate. For example, if you want to terminate all processes named "firefox", the command would be "killall firefox".
By executing this command, all processes with the specified name will be forcefully terminated and removed from the system. It is important to note that this command can be destructive as it immediately stops all processes with the specified name, so it should be used with caution.
