Trouble Killing Kerberos Process ID with Jamf Connect

I'm encountering a bit of a roadblock with Jamf Connect and I'm hoping someone here might have some insight. I've been trying to kill a Kerberos process using the process ID, but it's not working as expected. I try to kill this process using sudo kill 1234, where 1234 is the Process ID. However, when I do this, it doesn't seem to work. The process is still running. I've also tried sudo kill-9 1234 but that didn't help either. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

While I would suggest against it:

killall [process name]

can be used. I would heavily suggest against it, but

killall [process]*

(with the asterisk at the end for a wildcard) can work too, but obviously that will kill everything matching that name so please be careful.

Thank you for the information and the caution. Using 'killall' commands can be powerful, but as you've mentioned, it's crucial to exercise caution, especially with wildcard usage. It's always best to target specific processes rather than killing everything with a similar name. Safety and precision are key when dealing with system commands like these. Appreciate the guidance!
