# Kill Active Replication Task

```
ps -aux | grep rsync
```

`<PID>` here is the process number in the second column of the `ps` output.

```
Code:
[root@freenasxl ~]# ps -aux | grep rsync

```

Here I have a couple of SSH Rsync tasks running.  
If I wanted to stop the backup transfer, I would kill process 24116 with `kill 24116`

```
kill 24116
```
