I know there are several ways to kill a process if I know the process id.

But similar to ctrl+C in keyboard interrupt, looking for such interrupt using a command.

    How will you know which program to kill without an identifier? How is the program to be killed being run in relation to your program? – Carcigenicate Jun 14 '20 at 13:47
  • You can search the PID by searching the process name in the process tree (like `pgrep`). You use [`psutil`](https://pypi.org/project/psutil/) for that. – Laurent LAPORTE Jun 14 '20 at 13:49
  • @LaurentLAPORTE What if the current command is running in the terminal will I know the pid of that process in other terminal if I open a new terminal and run psutil? – amar19 Jun 14 '20 at 13:51

  • In a server, as I know, there is only one process tree. So, yes you can find your process, even if it is opened in another terminal. – Laurent LAPORTE Jun 14 '20 at 13:53
  • Maybe `killall ` will do? Disclaimer: that may kill more than you would have liked. –  Jun 14 '20 at 14:23
