linux kill process by user

To kill a process in Linux by a specific user, follow these steps:

1. Use the "ps" command with the "aux" options to list all processes running on the system along with the username of the user who started each process.

2. Filter the list of processes by the username of the user whose processes you want to kill using the "grep" command.

3. Identify the Process ID (PID) of the process you want to terminate from the filtered list.

4. Utilize the "kill" command followed by the PID of the process to send a termination signal to the process.

5. Optionally, if the process does not respond to the termination signal, use the "kill -9" command followed by the PID to forcefully terminate the process.

These steps will allow you to effectively terminate processes initiated by a specific user in a Linux environment.
