kill a process that has been started using ./xxxxxxxxxxxx.sh using pkill

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I run pycharm on remote desktop using ssh by:

cd /home/user/Documents/pycharm-community-2016.3/bin/ && ./pycharm.sh

I need to kill this process. For other process like firefox, I use the following:

pkill firefox

How do I kill the pycharm using pkill ? Or is there any more elegant way to get this done ?

Following is the route that worked for me.


Step 1: remote login


Step 2: use top to get process id (pid) of process associated with pycharm. The process is java.


Step 3: use kill pid to kill the process.
