Note to self: some handy erlang shell commands for dealing with processes.
process_info(Pid)
i()
erlang:processes(), or better yet, rp(erlang:processes()). Sometimes long lists show “…” to represent the tail elements. Wrapping in rp() shows the whole list.
Finally, exit(Pid, kill) to kill the process represented by Pid. For a while I thought that exit(Pid) sufficed, but some experimentation using the commands above will show otherwise.
