cant end pid

[max_power]

maybe im doing this wrong, but im trying to stop conky by ending the pid but i get the error "stop: Unknown jobxxx"

Conky tells me that conky is running on PID 6961

so i do:

sudo stop 6961

and the message i get is:

stop: Unknown job:6961

Any help?

thanks

You use kill to tell a process to terminate.

kill 6961
# You can also kill by process name
killall conky
