How can I stop all processes in IntelliJ?

Question

I am using intelliJ IDEA.

When I run my programs and close the window, the process still remains. If I run a lot of programs, I need to click disconnect many times.

Is there any way to stop all processes?

Eclipse doesn't have this problem.

Is the "setDefaultCloseOperation()" present in the Swing applications? – Frigid

Answer 1

IntelliJ 2017.2 now has a "Stop All" button in the "Stop process" menu (the button on the top bar), with the default shortcut ⌘+F2 on Mac OS:

For older versions:

1. Click the Stop button from the top bar. It will pop open a menu listing all processes. (The stop button at the side of the debug window is per-process, as in your screenshot.)

2. Hover over the first process, hold Shift, and then click on the last process.

3. Press Enter.

Command F2 is "Stop" not "Stop All" - at least on 2018.2 on macOS. I have many many bg processes that should die but do not. – Superheterodyne

For background processes, the default shortcut is Shift+⌘+F2. – Acescent

This isn't working for "zombie" processes which were started by IntelliJ but not cancelled. – Cymric

@Cymric That's unfortunate -- sounds like a bug you should report to JetBrains! – Acescent

Answer 2

kill $(ps aux | grep 'java' | awk '{print $2}')

This is a nice little workaround I found on SO a while ago that will kill any process with "java" in the name.

Just copy and paste into the terminal.

I usually get the complain kill: kill (some number) failed: no such process but even when I get that, the processes still stop – Cimabue

when i paste it,i get kill is command or external command, Not recognized as operable program or batch file. – Bridget

@Bridget try inputting that command into Cygwin if you're using Windows. – Overword

nice solution, but running kill $(ps aux | grep 'java' | awk '{print $2}') as an external tool in intellij results in permission errors. – Sacrificial

works as an 'external tool' if you put it is a bash file, and chmod a+x the bash file. – Sacrificial

Simpler: pkill java (or pkill '.*java.*' to match this "contains" behavior). – Acescent

Answer 3

Not exactly perfect, but what you could do is press Ctrl + F2 (shortcut for Stop Process) and hit Enter. It's better than all that mouse clicking and gets you through a list of running processes quite fast.

You can create a script like killJavaProcess and invoke it in Before launch section as External tool

For example ~/.bin/killonport

#!/bin/zsh

function help() {
  echo "usage: killonport port"
  echo "-f don't ask before killing"
  echo "-h help"
}

function killListenerOnPort() {
  # get script options
  zparseopts -E -D h=HELP f=FORCE

  [[ -n $HELP ]] &&
    help &&
    return

  local PORT
  PORT=$1

  [[ -z "$PORT" ]] &&
    help &&
    return

  local LISTEN
  # find process listening on port with lsof
  LISTEN="$(lsof -nP -iTCP:"$PORT" -sTCP:LISTEN)"

  local PROCESS
  # remove first line of output lsof
  PROCESS="$(echo "$LISTEN" | tail -n +2)"

  local HEAD
  # get first line of output lsof
  HEAD="$(echo "$LISTEN" | head -n 1)"

  [[ -z $PROCESS ]] &&
    echo "Process not found" &&
    return

  local COUNT
  # assure that found only one process else printing founded processes and exit
  COUNT=$(echo "$PROCESS" | wc -l | xargs)
  [[ $COUNT -gt 1 ]] &&
    printf 'Found more then one process: %s\n%s\n%s\n' "$COUNT" "$HEAD" "$PROCESS" &&
    return

  # get name and PID
  local NAME
  NAME=$(echo "$PROCESS" | awk '{print $1}')
  local PID
  PID=$(echo "$PROCESS" | awk '{print $2}')

  # if -f option specified kill silently
  [[ -n "$FORCE" ]] &&
    kill -9 "$PID" &&
    return

  # ask confirmation to kill
  echo "Kill process '$NAME' with PID '$PID'"
  read -qr 'REPL?Continue? (y/n) '
  echo

  # kill if confirmed
  [[ $REPL == 'y' || $REPL == 'Y' ]] &&
    kill -9 "$PID"
}

killListenerOnPort "$@"

My environment is Windows, and I am using IntelliJ version 2024.1.2 (Community Edition). IntelliJ often shows that the port is blocked by another application when I restart my Spring Boot application. I resolved this problem by using a shell script to kill the process that occupies the port and adding it to the 'Add Before Launch Task' section of the run configuration.

kill_port_8081.bat:

@echo off
rem Check the port 8081 and kill the process using it

echo Looking for process using port 8081...
for /f "tokens=5" %%a in ('netstat -aon ^| findstr 8081') do (
    echo Process found using port 8081: PID %%a
    echo Killing process %%a...
    taskkill /F /PID %%a
    echo Process %%a killed.
)

echo Done.
