'How to kill a tmux pane along with the process running on it?

Let's say you run a command like grunt serve on a tmux pane, and you kill the pane on which the command is running. I found that the process is not killed:

ps aux | grep grunt

still shows that grunt is running even though the pane is gone. How do you kill a tmux pane along with the process(es)?

tmux

Solution 1:^[1]

You may find the tmux-safekill plugin useful.

I wanted it to kill Ruby processes, so I had to fork the repo to add that functionality in, so I'm sure you could do the same for grunt processes if you don't get all the functionality you need from the repo directly.

Solution 2:^[2]

To stop the program running you can close the pane by entering <C-B> x and then entering y.

Solution 3:^[3]

Just do: <CTRL-B>:kill-pane

Solution 4:^[4]

Use Ctrl+b¹, > to get a menu with this and other useful commands:

This is what uses the Spotify plugin.

¹ Or the chosen tmux escape sequence.
