D.2. Killing a program

If your program is taking too long and you don't want to wait for it to timeout, you can kill it yourself through the following steps:

1. Close your BioBIKE screen (this will not cause the program to stop running)
2. Login again to BioBIKE
3. Type the following into the command window and press ENTER:

   (ALL-MY-PROCESSES)

   You will see something like:

   ::
   ;;
   ;; Processes owned by JOEUSER
   ;; PID: 1127 05/24/04 23:40:47 (LOOP FOR x FROM here TO infinity)
   ;; PID: 1135 05/24/04 23:44:51 (all-my-processes)
   

   The number is called the PID (Process Identifier), through which you can refer to specific programs that are running.
    
4. Type the following into the command window and press ENTER:

   (KILL-MY-PROCESS 1127)        (or whatever the PID number is of the offending process)

   You will be deposited to a screen that was present just before running the program you just killed.
