How to terminate a program running from the Sublime Text 2 terminal once entering an infinite loop?

Question

Even If I close sublime the process continues to go, seeing as my laptop revs until slowing down to a crawl a few minutes later. I'm on mint linux, and can't seem to kill the process from terminal either.

Solution 1

Execute this command:

ps -A | grep sublime

result Example :

2547 ? 00:02:37 sublime_text

You will kill process with :

kill -9 2547

Solution 2

killall sublime_text

works for me Sublime Text 3 Ubuntu 16.04

Solution 3

on MAC:

kill -9 $(pgrep Sublime)

Solution 4

$ ps aux | grep Sublime
bibhas   646   0.0  4.2  3489812 177340   ??  S    Fri08PM  29:17.03 /Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/MacOS/Sublime Text 2 -psn_0_487543
$ sudo kill -9 646

Solution 5

One simple and brutal way is to just kill the process of what the program is running on. For example, if you are running a java program, then use $killall java.

There is no reason why you could not kill the process from a terminal. Can you please show the process listing using ps and tell us how you tried to kill it.

This is happening to me also in Ubuntu. I tries to kill it with the ID like you have suggested. But still it is here. When I run ps again it is still there with same ID
