I ran a command:



while true ; do ..... ....... ; done


on the Linux console/terminal, and now this while loop is continuously running.



I have two questions here:



  1. How to get out of this while loop?

  2. If my PuTTY session to Linux gets disconnected, how can I go back and find this loop and kill it?

          You can cancel the loop with: CTRL + C



          Your session would have ended when your putty session closed so the loop will no longer be running



          • unless it was running in a screen session or similar in which case you would have to reattach it using the method of that particular program.
