stoping a TopHat alignment
Hi, I'm trying to stop a TopHat alignment (my computer is low in memory and the run is failing to report the final output (it's been stuck at that stage for about 20 hours now and usually the whole alignment would only take around 6 hours). Is there a way I could stop that particular alignment without force quitting the terminal window?
Thank you!

Why Is Tophat Reporting Secondary Alignments Even When The Option To Do So Is Turned Off
written by Varun Gupta
Did you try ctrl-Z?
you could do 'top' and then k (to kill a process), write the PID of this tophat and press enter. of course, this should be done from a different terminal window (unless you are using screen)
ps aux | grep -i "tophat"then it will give you process ID
kill -9 "process id from previous step"Or as suggested above use top or htop find the process (tophat) then kill it using F9
