# How to stop the experiment

You can stop Autosubmit by sending a signal to the process. To get the process identifier (PID) you can use the ps command on a shell interpreter/terminal.

    ps -ef | grep autosubmit
    dmanubens  22835     1  1 May04 ?        00:45:35 autosubmit run cxxy
    dmanubens  25783     1  1 May04 ?        00:42:25 autosubmit run cxxx

To send a signal to a process you can use kill also on a terminal.

To stop immediately experiment cxxx:

    kill -9 22835
