How to write a script that kills a java process?

From console it looks like

root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01:~# lsof -i tcp:8080
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java    9657 root   26u  IPv6 4694148      0t0  TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN)
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01:~# kill 9657

How should it be implemented in .sh file?

scripts bash sh

    Just use the killall command. That should work. Like this: 

    killall java

    (Just in case you don't know how to create a executable .sh file (It's not quite clear): A .sh file should begin with a shebang, something like

    #!/bin/sh

    After that, you just write commands like you would in a terminal, separated into lines. Then you run

    chmod +x <insert filename>

    and are able to execute the .sh file just fine. killall should be no exception
