Kill Process that is created from running a task

Question

I am launching a task and it works great but its a task that stays running in the current shell. Is there anyway to kill this task from the editor when you are done?

Yeah debugger is annoying for me when it spawns. For a server I use lsof -i tcp:3333 (or whatever the port is) and then kill -9 PID — Mark Robson, Nov 16 '18 at 11:16

Typing `>` in [Quick Open](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_explorer) `Ctrl+P` is the equivalent of [Command Palette](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_command-palette) `Ctrl+Shift+P` (for others like me who missed typing `>`) – Jeremy Larter Oct 01 '16 at 00:09

In the task Runner Explorer window, you'll see a tab that has "(running)" in it's title. Click the X to close the tab, and visual studio will ask you if you want to terminate the task. If you chose to terminate it, the tab will disappear.
