To eliminate an undesirable process that is causing Linux systems to hang, Fargo should use the command # kill -9 [PID]. This command sends the SIGKILL signal to the process with the specified PID (Process ID), which forcefully stops the process immediately.

It is important to note that this command should be used with caution, as it does not allow the process to perform any cleanup operations before shutting down.
