    Run
    Code:
    ps aux
    and search for the process ID. Then run
    Code:
    kill -9 <process_id>
    to kill it.

    Hi Kevin,

    here is another useful small program, not for running daemons but for other admin tasks that shall be continued after you closed putty.

    If you want to run a script or program, shutdown putty and continue the session later witout stopping the script, you shall have a look at the "screen" program.

    Installation on Debian / ubuntu:

    Code:
    apt-get install screen
    To start screen, run the command:

    Code:
    screen
    Now you are in a type of virtual console, start your script now. For example the "top" command:

    Code:
    top
    To close the session, press [ctrl] + a + d

    Now you are again on your "normal" putty console. It seems as top is not running.

    To connect back to your virtual screen console, run this command:

    Code:
    screen -r
    Now you see that top is still running on your server.

    Press "q" to stop the top program and then press [ctrl] + a + d to close the screen. If there is no program running in the screen virtual console, it closes completely and cannot be reopened with screen -r again.

    For more screen commands, see:

    Code:
    man screen
