To stop or interrupt the cp or mv command in Linux or Unix, you can use the CTRL + C keyboard shortcut. This will terminate the cp or mv command and return you to the command prompt.
For example, if you are running the cp or mv command to copy or move a file and you want to stop it, you can press CTRL + C on your keyboard. This will terminate the cp or mv command and return you to the command prompt.
You can also use the kill command to stop the cp or mv command. To use the kill command, you need to find the process ID of the cp or mv command using the ps command. For example, to find the process ID of the cp command, you can use the following command:
ps aux | grep cp
This will show a list of processes with cp in the command line, along with the process IDs.
Once you have the process ID, you can use the kill command to stop the cp or mv command. For example, to stop the cp command with process ID 12345, you can use the following command:
kill 12345
