Ctrl+C if it runs in the foreground of a VT shell (doesn't always work)..
but the better answer is to look up it's PID (process identification)
using 'ps aux'. Then just do 'kill -9 the_pid_you_want_to_kill' like 'kill
-9 876' if PID 876 were the PID you want to kill. The -9 is the kill
signal. You can also use killall instead of kill and use the process's
program filename instead of the PID. Be careful as killall will attempt to
kill all things matching the program name you specify.
Also, when killing processes you need to have the correct permissions (ie.
a user cannot kill superuser/system processes).
man ps
man kill
-Statux
