Is there any command which does the same work as the ctrl+c does to cancel the program?

Question

There is a big linux program running on my machine, I want to terminate it but if I use the kill command program it will be exiting without saving the results. So kindly help me out with this issue. 

Answer 1

Try the following command on your Linux terminal:

kill -SIGINT processPIDHere

Actually, Ctrl C sends the SIGINT signal which is a signal for the interruption, and kill sends the SIGTERM signal which is a signal for termination by default unless you specify the signal to send.
