Here is the command to kill the Java process by is Process Name instead of its ProcessID.

kill `jps | grep "DataNode" | cut -d " " -f 1`

This works well. Is there any command like jps which can kill the java process just by specifying the Main class as argument to command. I am looking for a command like command kill <DataNode>

Search for javaw.exe in Task Manager and from there you can kill it.. Otherwise try this pkill -9 -f <nameOfYourJavaAplication>
