How do I kill a process I suspended (with ctrl-z) in tcsh? I tried

sudo kill ###

but that didn't work. I can't logout cause of the suspended process.

If you do a kill -KILL ### it should work, btw you can go back in a suspended process with the fg command or put it in backgroung with the bg command

Thanks BigMac2

It's probably better to do a 'kill -TERM' than a 'kill -KILL', but anyway...FYI, you can also specify the job number in a kill, ex:

% touch foo
% touch bar
% tail -f foo
^Z
Suspended
% tail -f bar
^Z
Suspended
% jobs
[1] - Suspended tail -f foo
[2] + Suspended tail -f bar
% kill %1
% jobs
[1] Terminated tail -f foo
[2] + Suspended tail -f bar
% jobs
[2] + Suspended tail -f bar
%
----------------
----------------
Also, you can just logout once more after the warning and it'll let you log out w/ suspended jobs:

% tail -f foo
^Z
Suspended
% logout
There are suspended jobs.
% logout
(disconnected)
