How do I kill this tomcat process in Terminal?

Question

Using ps -ef | grep tomcat I found a tomcat server that is running. I tried kill -9 {id} but it returns \"No such process.\" What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

There is no need to know Tomcat's pid (process ID) to kill it. You can use the following command to kill Tomcat:

pkill -9 -f tomcat
