Guide: Stopping Unnecessary Running Processes to Improve PC Performance

If you need to add process name then modify the PROCESS_NAMES() value.

Step 1:
  Save the script to a file, for example, stop_processes.sh

Step 2:
  Make the script executable: chmod +x stop_processes.sh

Step 3:
  Run the script whenever your PC slows down: ./stop_processes.sh


Note: It is written specifically for Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux or macOS).

stop_processes.sh

#file: stop_processes.sh

# List of process names to be stopped
PROCESS_NAMES=("chrome")

for PROCESS_NAME in "${PROCESS_NAMES[@]}"
do
  PIDS=$(pgrep $PROCESS_NAME)
  echo "Name - $PROCESS_NAME | PIDS - $PIDS"

  for PID in $PIDS
  do
    kill $PID

    if kill -0 $PID &> /dev/null; then
      kill -9 $PID
      echo "Killed $PID"
    fi
  done
done
