Question

I want to kill some of Apache server process in Linux.

Please help me in this.

Answer 1

if you have pid of the processes that want to kill then use kill command.

kill pid1 [pid2 pid3 ...]

And if this doesn’t kill the processes you can add -9 flag to kill command to forcefully kill the processes like

kill -9 pid1 [pid2 pid3 ...]

To get the pid of the process you can use ps command as

ps ax | grep apache

first column of output is the pid of the process.
