A process with name=example can be killed by killall -9 example
How to kill multiple instances of following command which contain spaces?
"valgrind --tool=lackey ./testcases/kernel/syscalls/waitpid/waitpid03"
Following command returns valgrind --tool=lackey ./testcases/kernel/syscalls/waitpid/waitpid03: No such file or directory
the process is mcelog. When I do as root kill -9 2323 which is pid of mcelog the process is not killed. I tried doing the same from top, press K and enter pid of mcelog. doing ps auwx | grep mcelog I see there are several results. I tried killing all of them like kill -9 2355 2341 3425 2345. But re-running the above commands still shows them as running. How else would I troubleshoot this to avoid restarting of the box.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCtrl-c doesn't always work to kill the current process (for instance, if that process is busy in certain network operations). In that case, you just see "^C" by your cursor, and can't do much else.What's the easiest way to force that process to die now without losing my terminal?
Summary of answers below:Usually, you can Ctrl-z to put the process to sleep, and then do "kill -9 process-pid", where you find the process's pid with 'ps' and other tools.On Bash (and possibly other shells) you can do "kill -9 %1" (or '%N' in general) which is easier. If Ctrl-z doesn't work, you'll have to open another terminal and kill from there.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought an SSL cert and installed on my Apache server. When I restarted something went wrong so I had to change some config stuff and when I tried to restart apache for the second time I got this:
$ sudo apache2ctl start
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
Problem is that apache isn't running. For some reason there is something hogging my tcp 80 port, preventing apache from starting properly. How do I fix this? Is there a way to "free" a port?

I know I can grab the ones with what I want to kill (which are the ones with question marks) with:
# lostjobs | grep ?
what I need to know is how can I loop through the results of the second one and kill them by id (the second column).

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible, in Linux, to rename a file from something without spaces to something containing spaces? I know I can create directories and files with spaces by doing:
mkdir "new dir" and:
touch "new file.txt"
I want to rename files from:
imgp0882.jpg to something like:
20091231 1243 some topic.jpg
And how would it look in a shell script that uses parameters like:
for i in *.jpg do
rename "$i" "$somepath/$mydate $mytime $mytopic$extension"
?
I'm new to Linux (using PCLinuxOS 2009.2), coming from Windows, and I've written myself a little shell script to download files from my camera and then automatically rename them according to a date-and-topic pattern. As you can guess by now, I'm stuck on the bit about renaming. If you want to see my script, here's a copy. I'm not using jhead for this renaming because that only works with JPEG files but I want a single solution for any media format including videos.

I have Debian jessie and the only "nonofficial" repositories I have enabled are
#google chrome
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main
#Backports
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
And from those I have installed only chrome, and wine-development, and I dont think those could have anything to do with this problem.
Booting the machine does work, but I don't want to boot my machine just now. This happens about once per week
