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?

shell command-line terminal

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.
