I can´t kill my python script in linux

I'm trying to kill my python process and always still there.

Also try using sudo and if I use top comand, the process is still there.

The python script was created by me, and no other process is continually calling.

ubuntu@ip-*******:~/Desktop/Servidor$ pkill python -e

python killed (pid 1284)

ubuntu@ip-*******:~/Desktop/Servidor$ pkill python -e

python killed (pid 1284)

ubuntu@ip-*******:~/Desktop/Servidor$ pkill python -e

python killed (pid 1284)
Solution

  • Something you can use that is fairly brutal and will work for any rogue process is:

    ps ax | grep python | cut -c1-5 | xargs kill -9

    which will probably need to be run as sudo.
