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

as @Aurand to said, tomcat is not running. you can use the

ps -ef |grep java | grep tomcat command to ignore the ps programs.

worked for me in the shell scripte files.
