Kill and Restart TeamViewer 10 Ubuntu 14.04

Question

How do I kill and restart TeamViewer 10 on ubuntu from the command line?

I tried running sudo kill -HUP teamviewer* and other variants (TeamViewer.exe; which I got from the system monitor) with no luck.

I have an issue sometimes with Teamviewer hanging and it would be nice not to have to reboot my system to get TV10 working again.

In other versions of teamviewer some times the daemon has to be restarted the in order to run the teamviewer app again after closing it.

sudo teamviewer --daemon stop
sudo teamviewer --daemon start

or

sudo teamviewer --daemon restart

This worked perfectly for me. It's probably a much more elegant way to do it than *kill*ing the process. – drwatsoncode Jun 21 '17 at 18:47

In Ubuntu 16.04

sudo systemctl stop teamviewerd.service
sudo systemctl start teamviewerd.service

or

sudo systemctl restart teamviewerd.service

For me It also worked without the ending `.service`. – PJ_Finnegan Mar 15 '20 at 09:55

kill accepts PIDs, not process command names. Try pkill, or killall:

sudo pkill TeamViewer.exe

Or:

sudo pkill -f TeamViewer.exe

The pkill command did the trick to kill TeamViewer. How do I restart? – NotMy1RealName Mar 08 '15 at 20:52
@NotMy1RealName how do you usually start it? – muru Mar 08 '15 at 20:56

It starts at boot. However, the issue is that the program crashes at times and needs to be killed and restarted. I've `xkill` 'd the program, but I can't restart it unless I reboot. Very inconvenient. – NotMy1RealName Mar 09 '15 at 01:20
