Suppose for example vlc media player is running and some directory is also opened in file browser. Now I want to close either the file browser or vlc.
One way can be to just click on the cross button on the top left hand corner, but how can I do this using terminal commands?
Now every file is handled by another program say gedit and folders the same, so to kill [ the program handling that file or folder ] we can use two methods:
The program name with:
pkill <name_of_program>
use of program PID (process id)
PID with pgrep <name_of_program>, thenkill <PID>Information:
man pkill
man kill
Note: When closed this way any unsaved changes will be lost.
