Which of the following processes will help you kill a hung process when you know its process name only?
  1. kill
  2. hangup
  3. killall
  4. killpro
Explanation
Answer - C - The killall process will help you kill a hung process when you know its process name only.

Key Takeaway: The killall process sends a signal to all processes running any of the specified commands. It returns a zero return code if at least one process has been killed for each listed command. A killall process never kills itself (but may kill other killall processes).
