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.
