How to kill a running php script in windows

Question

I have a php script running in an infinite loop that I need killed without restarting apache.

I have access to the server via remote desktop. Please advise.

Answer 1

Find the running scripts you want to kill:

tasklist /v | find "php"

Make note of the process ID, kill it with:

taskkill /PID 3776

Same as doing:

ps aux | grep php

kill 3776
