'man kill' gives you the detailed answer.

What 'kill' does is sending a signal to the process with the given PID; it is SIGTERM by default, but can also be any POSIX signal. If the process doesn't react to SIGTERM, try with SIGINT, SIGHUP and SIGKILL, in that order.

Hi Shwetha,

I think are you looking for the solution of this query.

To force termination of a job whose process ID is given.

Ans. : kill -9 (process id)

Note : if you know the process id, then your can terminate that job by using this command.

kill 1239, where 1239 is process id..
