First  ps -ef   to list all processes  Note the the process number of the one you want to kill  Then  kill 1234   were you replace 1234 with the process number that you want   Alternatively  if you are absolutely certain that there is only one process with a particular name  or you want to kill multiple processes which share the same name  killall processname

You should be able to find your command with a ps variant like   ps -ef ps -fubob   if your job s user ID is bob    Then  once located  it should be a simple matter to use kill to kill the process  permissions permitting    If you re talking about getting rid of jobs in the at queue  that aren t running yet   you can use atq to list them and atrm to get rid of them

To delete a job which has not yet run  you need the atrm command   You can use atq command to get its number in the at list   To kill a job which has already started to run  you ll need to grep for it using   ps -eaf   grep  lt command name gt    and then use kill to stop it   A quicker way to do this on most systems is   pkill  lt command name gt
