How to Kill an Unresponsive Process on Linux
In this video I show you how to kill an unresponsive process on Linux using simple terminal commands. You will see how to create a demo process, find its PID with ps and grep, stop it with the default signal (SIGTERM) using kill, force-stop it with kill -9 (SIGKILL), and terminate multiple processes with killall. These steps work on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and most Linux distributions. I also explain the difference between signals and why you should check the PID before killing a process so you don't stop the wrong program.
