Kill and Restart TeamViewer 10 Ubuntu 14.04

Question

How do I kill and restart TeamViewer 10 on ubuntu from the command line?

I tried running sudo kill -HUP teamviewer* and other variants (TeamViewer.exe; which I got from the system monitor) with no luck.

I have an issue sometimes with Teamviewer hanging and it would be nice not to have to reboot my system to get TV10 working again.

In other versions of teamviewer some times the daemon has to be restarted the in order to run the teamviewer app again after closing it.

sudo teamviewer --daemon stop
sudo teamviewer --daemon start

or

sudo teamviewer --daemon restart

kill accepts PIDs, not process command names. Try pkill, or killall:

sudo pkill TeamViewer.exe

Or:

sudo pkill -f TeamViewer.exe
