We are trying to run a script to stop elasticsearch.

When I execute ps aux |grep elastic I am getting:

root@baldelas01:/tmp# ps aux |grep elastic

How do I get the PID : 3016870 in the script and execute kill -9?

I tried pidof but that does not give any result.

the pidof doesn't give any result because elastcisearch is run through java binary.

the not-so-simple solution to get the id would be:

ps -aux | grep 'elastic' | grep 'java' | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }'

which is:

  • print all processes ( ps -aux )
  • filter the result by 'elastic' keyword ( grep 'elastic' )
  • filter the result by 'java' keyword ( grep 'java' )
  • only print second column ( awk -F " " '{ print $2 }' )

then you can kill specific ID using kill -9 if you really need to. However, please note it's always better to securely shut down the service by using the command suggested by Rinzwind in one of the comments.
