Summary
I would like to know how to kill every single gradle daemon and process running on a machine regardless of the version of gradle or the version of the daemon, but the "--kill" or "--stop" command will only stop those processes that match the same version of gradle.
Use case
My CI build box will have several gradle daemons running with different versions (because I'm a good boy that uses the wrapper to execute builds). Occasionally I will find issues with caching or incremental builds, and as a precaution I like to kill the daemons. The same is true for my development boxes, although the conflicts are more often with whichever VCS or IDE I am using.
What I am looking for
Helpful links to the gradle docs
Under linux you may use pkill:
pkill -f '.*GradleDaemon.*'
Under windows you may use wmic:
WMIC PROCESS where "Name like 'java%' AND CommandLine like '%GradleDaemon%'" Call Terminate
PS. Why "no scripting" when it is probably the easiest solution?
