Many times this issue is happened with me I tried the kill command to stop the process.
But that is really not responding. For Example, following command executed but not worked
[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ ps -ef|grep skype
siwan 3140 1 1 09:50 ? 00:04:46 skype
siwan 13857 13818 0 17:24 pts/1 00:00:00 grep skype
[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ kill 3140
There are really very nice unix commands present in Linux like:
[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ killall firefox
[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ ps -ef|grep skype
siwan 3140 1 1 09:50 ? 00:04:46 skype
siwan 13857 13818 0 17:24 pts/1 00:00:00 grep skype
[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ kill -9 3140
I specially like the kill -9 processid command. Using kill -9 on a process is like just hitting the power button on your running PC. You already know that powering off a running PC can damage your filesystem because of run-time inconsistent data, why would you do the same thing to your applications? You risk the _exact same_ data corruption.
