1. Open Terminal and get the admin rights

sudo su

2. List the running processes

ps -ax

or

ps -aux

3. Look for the PID. The PIDs are usually shown in the first column

PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND

4. Replace the <PID> parameter with the specific ID for the task(s) you consider

kill <PID>

Enjoy it !
