How to get the process ID to kill a nohup process?

Question

I\'m running a nohup process on the server. When I try to kill it my putty console closes instead.

this is how I try to find the process ID:

ps -ef |         


        

Answer 1

suppose i am running ruby script in the background with below command

nohup ruby script.rb &

then i can get the pid of above background process by specifying command name. In my case command is ruby.

ps -ef | grep ruby

output

ubuntu   25938 25742  0 05:16 pts/0    00:00:00 ruby test.rb

Now you can easily kill the process by using kill command

kill 25938
