Which command is used to terminate a process by name in Linux?


In Linux, you can terminate a process by its name using the `pkill` command. The basic syntax is: ```bash pkill <process_name> ``` Replace `<process_name>` with the name of the process you want to terminate. For example, to terminate all processes named `example`, you would use: ```bash pkill example ``` If you want to ensure that the command only matches the exact process name, you can use the `-x` option: ```bash pkill -x <process_name> ``` Make sure you have the necessary permissions to terminate the processes.
