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

Answer 2

This worked for me:

Step 1 : echo ps aux | grep org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'

This above command return "process_id"

Step 2: kill -9 process_id
// This process_id same as Step 1: output

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

ps -Af | grep "tomcat" | grep -v grep | awk '{print$2}' | xargs kill -9

Answer 5

this works very well (find tomcat processes and kill them forcibly)

ps -ef | grep tomcat | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

Answer 6

just type the below command in terminal

ps -ef |grep 'catalina'

copy the value of process id then type the following command and paste process id

 kill -9 processid
