Unresponsive process
pkill -9f process-name
Example:
pkill -9f filezilla
If you have launch a command that you cannot directly stopped with usually ctrl+c, you can always put the process in the background with ctrl+z and then use the jobs command to list the job (command) that you have launched. Then, you have the number of the job and you can kill it with the command kill %<number_of_the_job>.
Example:
$ sleep 100 ^Z [1]+ Stopped sleep 100 $ jobs [1]+ Stopped sleep 100 $ kill %1 $ jobs [1]+ Terminated sleep 100 $ jobs $
