Kill Sophos Process Mac

You can uninstall Sophos Home on your Mac computers using the Remove Sophos Home app. Do not drag Sophos Home to the Trash as this will not uninstall the program. I understand now how to KILL a service. As for starting a service, though, ColdFusion Application Server doesn't appear in the activity monitor. Secondly, is there an application to streamline this process of starting and stopping tasks, like the Services Manager in Windows? With the advent of the Surface Pro X, there is becoming a push for more 2-in-1 devices to work on ARM technology (as is found in most cell phones and tablets) to run full Windows OS's. However, there is no support for Endpoint Protection (Cloud or On-Prem) for these types of devices. I would like to see an Endpoint Protection package (Anti-virus, firewall, application control, etc.) that will.

Question or issue on macOS:

I tried kill -9 698 but the process did not die.

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

If you’re trying to kill -9 it, you have the correct PID, and nothing happens, then you don’t have permissions to kill the process.

Solution:

Okay, sure enough Mac OS/X does give an error message for this case:

So, if you’re not getting an error message, you somehow aren’t getting the right PID.

Solution no. 2:

Some cases you might want to kill all the process running in a specific port. For example, if I am running a node app on 3000 port and I want to kill that and start a new one; then I found this command useful.

Find the process IDs running on TCP port 3000 and kill it

Solution no. 3:

If you know the process name you can use:

If you don’t you can open Activity Monitor and find it.

Solution no. 4:

Given the path to your program, I assume you’re currently running this under Xcode, and are probably at a debug breakpoint. Processes cannot be killed in this state because of the underlying implementation of breakpoints.

The first step would be to go to your Xcode process and stop debugging. If for some strange reason you have lost access to Xcode (perhaps Xcode has lost access to its gdb sub-process), then the solution is to kill the gdb process. More generally, the solution here is to kill the parent process. In your case this is PID 811 (the third column).

There is no need to use -9 in this case.

Solution no. 5:

I just now searched for this as I’m in a similar situation, and instead of kill -9 698 I tried sudo kill 428 where 428 was the pid of the process I’m trying to kill. It worked cleanly for me, in the absence of the hyphen ‘-‘ character. I hope it helps!

Solution no. 6:

If kill -9 isn’t working, then neither will killall (or even killall -9 which would be more “intense”). Apparently the chromium process is stuck in a non-interruptible system call (i.e., in the kernel, not in userland) — didn’t think MacOSX had any of those left, but I guess there’s always one more:-(. If that process has a controlling terminal you can probably background it and kill it while backgrounded; otherwise (or if the intense killing doesn’t work even once the process is bakcgrounded) I’m out of ideas and I’m thinking you might have to reboot:-(.

Solution no. 7:

I have experienced that if kill -9 PID doesn’t work and you own the process, you can use kill -s kill PID which is kind of surprising as the man page says you can kill -signal_number PID.

Solution no. 8:

I recently faced similar issue where the atom editor will not close. Neither was responding. Kill / kill -9 / force exit from Activity Monitor – didn’t work. Finally had to restart my mac to close the app.

Solution no. 9:

in the spotlight, search for Activity Monitor. You can force fully remove any application from here.
