You can search forward in less using the / key and you can search backward using the ? key. This will give you a process listing that looks similar to the below screenshot. Type ps, a space, -e, a space, | (a pipe character), another space and then type less. Piping the output through less is advisable, there’s going to be quite a bit of it. To have ps search through all of the processes use the -e (all processes) option.
The ps command can be used to find the PID of a process. To use kill, you must know the process ID (PID) of the process you wish to terminate. These commands can be used with any type of process, graphical or command line, foreground or background. Linux provides the kill, pkill, and killall commands to allow you to do just that. “Killing” a process just means “forcing the process to quit.” This may be necessary if the process is refusing to respond. Terminal applications might never return you to the command prompt. Graphical applications can refuse to respond to mouse clicks. When processes misbehave or malfunction, they can hog too much CPU time, consume your RAM, or enter a tight computational loop and become unresponsive. If the foreground processes are the front of theater staff and the actors, the background processes are the backstage “behind the scenes” team. Background processes are things like services and daemons. They don’t expect input from users nor do they present results or output to them. Background processes are all of the processes that are started automatically and don’t have any interaction with users.They may be in a terminal window, or they may be a graphical application. Foreground processes are ones that have been started or launched by a user.In the image below you can see that the process firefox is running.Running programs like your web browser, background processes associated with your desktop environment, and Linux system services are all processes. os.kill(): This method in Python is used to send a specified signal to the process with specified process id.In the image below you can see that the process firefox is running os.popen(): This method is used to opens a pip to and from command.

You gave this script to your employees so every time this happens they don’t need to complain to you or know what is process id or how to kill the process, just enter the name, and everything will be taken care of. So you came up with the idea of writing a script in Python which take input only the name of application or process and shut it down completely. Imagine this scenario the employees of your company came to you every day complaining about the same situation since they don’t know what is PID and how to kill a process.
Since you are an administrator you type a command to Process ID and kill that process immediately. You again try to start that application but it turns out that application never shut down completely. Imagine you are a system administrator of a company and you start an application from your menu and you start using that application suddenly you notice that the application stopped working or die unexpectedly.
