Some things won’t respond to Ctrl+C; in that case, you can also do Ctrl+Z which stops the process and then
kill %1– or evenfgto go back to it. Read the section inman bashentitled “JOB CONTROL” for more information. It’s very helpful. (If you’re not familiar withmanor the manpager, you can search using/.man bashthen inside it/JOB CONTROLEnter will start searching, n will find the next match which is the right section.)
