To Kill an Application in Ubuntu

In the terminal, search for the application’s ID:

ps auwx | grep -i office

The terminal will return something like:

euri      2447  0.3  5.1 720112 104280 ?       Sl   14:19   0:19 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -calc /home/euri/Desktop/activities_next_release.xls -splash-pipe=5
euri      3288  0.0  0.0   7624  1012 pts/0    S+   15:46   0:00 grep --color=auto -i office

Then, kill the application using the ID.

kill -9 2447
