Killing Jobs - Job Number Method

When you run a job in the background a job number is assigned in brackets.

checklen < data &
[19108]

Typing kill -9 19108 will terminate the job.

If you cannot remember the job number type busy | grep

userid. This will list all processes running on this workstation by a specific user.

busy | grep lisan | grep -v grep
