We are trying to run a script to stop elasticsearch.

When I execute ps aux |grep elastic I am getting:

root@baldelas01:/tmp# ps aux |grep elastic

How do I get the PID : 3016870 in the script and execute kill -9?

I tried pidof but that does not give any result.

the pidof doesn't give any result because elastcisearch is run through java binary.

the not-so-simple solution to get the id would be:

ps -aux | grep 'elastic' | grep 'java' | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }'

which is:

  • print all processes ( ps -aux )
  • filter the result by 'elastic' keyword ( grep 'elastic' )
  • filter the result by 'java' keyword ( grep 'java' )
  • only print second column ( awk -F " " '{ print $2 }' )

then you can kill specific ID using kill -9 if you really need to. However, please note it's always better to securely shut down the service by using the command suggested by Rinzwind in one of the comments.

  • Thanks Jan, When i executed ps -aux | grep 'elastic' | grep 'java' | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }' i dont get any result. root@baldelas01:/opt# ps -aux | grep 'elastic' | grep 'java' | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }' root@baldelas01:/opt# . So i tried removing "-" and used ps aux | grep 'elastic' | grep 'java' | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }' got the result. Thanks let me try this in script and see if it works.

  • In the Script i tried stop) echo "Stopping $APP" processID="ps -ef | grep 'elastic' | grep 'java' | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }'" echo $processID sleep 30 kill $processID #/bin/su -m $USER -c "kill -9 (ps -ef | grep elastic) &> /dev/null" sleep 30 echo "$APP stopped successfully" However when i execute the restart file i get Stopping ElasticSearch ./elastic-auto-restart: 22: '{ print }': not found ;;

  • Please ask that as a separate question because: pasting script in a comment makes in barely readable. you're telling us there's issue with line 22, but you're not pasting the full script. I can only see ~7 lines of it. then again I think you're still trying to kill something manually which already has a stop script in /etc/init.d/elasticsearch (hint: yes, it also contains a location of elasticsearch PID file, which contains process ID)
