How to kill nc -k -l without restart?

  • 772

I have a script running behind the screen which has a command nc -k -l 12345. Is there any workarounds I could kill this daemon without restarting the machine?

Ubuntu 14.04

kill

    If that nc process was started with exactly that command, and no other nc processes have exactly that command, you can do:

    sudo pkill -fx 'nc -k -l 12345'
    • -f matches the entire command line
    • -x makes the match exact.
