ffmpeg How to end a specific process?

If I have multiple ffmpeg running in the background, for example:

process 1

ffmpeg -re -i "https://mnmedias.api.telequebec.tv/m3u8/29880.m3u8" -filter_complex "null" -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -f flv ./videos/cut-videos/standard/happens.mp4

process 2

ffmpeg -re -i "https://mnmedias.api.telequebec.tv/m3u8/29880.m3u8" -filter_complex "null" -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -f flv ./videos/cut-videos/standard/happens2.mp4

process 3

ffmpeg -re -i "https://mnmedias.api.telequebec.tv/m3u8/29880.m3u8" -filter_complex "null" -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -f flv ./videos/cut-videos/standard/happens3.mp4

How Can I end process 3 specifically?

You can use pgrep alone to get the PID:

pgrep -f happens3.mp4

Example with kill:

kill "$(pgrep -f happens3.mp4)"

Try this

ps -ef | grep happens3.mp4 | awk '{ print $2 }'

This should give you the PID to that exact process.

For this example, let's say your PID is 1234.

To kill it, run the following

kill 1234
