How to stop kubectl proxy

I executed below command:

kubectl proxy --port=8081 &
kubectl proxy --port=8082 &

and of course I have 2 accessible endpoints:

curl http://localhost:8081/api/
curl http://localhost:8082/api/

But in the same time two running processes serving the same content. How to stop one of these processes in "kubectl" manner? Of course, I can kill the process but it seems to be a less elegant way...

In Windows, to stop the background job in Powershell, it is:

Try this, using your port #s of course

$ pkill -f 'kubectl proxy --port=8080'

Depending on the platform you could wrap the proxy in service / daemon, but seems like overkill I would just add aliases or functions to start and source them in your terminal/shell profile to make it easier.

or

kubectl-proxy-start() {
    kubectl proxy &
}

kubectl-proxy-kill() {
    pkill -9 -f "kubectl proxy"
}

ps -ef | grep "kubectl proxy"

will show you the PID of the process

Then you can stop it with 

kill -9 <pid>

Filter (grep) all "kube" pids and kill with loop:

for pid in `netstat -tulp | grep kube | awk '{print $7}' | awk -F"/" '{print $1}'| uniq`
 do
   kill -9 $pid
 done

Run this command to figure out the process id (pid):

netstat -tulp | grep kubectl

Then run sudo kill -9 <pid> to kill the process.

I believe the "kubectl way" is to not background the proxy at all as it is intended to be a short running process to access the API on your local machine without further authentication.

There is no way to stop it other than kill or ^C (if not in background).

You can use standard shell tricks though, so executing fg then ^C will work or kill %1
