[diliboy88 (Dylan Corea)]

I tried to closed docker on Mac and icon stuck on icon bar

[terpz (Martin Terp)]

Tried to kill it via the Terminal or restaring?

[diliboy88 (Dylan Corea)]

Yes. I did do that. Terminal said “arguments must be process or job IDs”

[terpz (Martin Terp)]

try “dockerd”

else you need to run “ps -ef | grep -i docker” to get the pid, and then: kill -9 PID

@terpz

ps -ef | grep -i docker

where is the pid? I got
0 127 1 0 13Dec21 ?? 0:00.18 /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.docker.vmnetd
501 66859 1 0 Wed07pm ?? 0:07.53 /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/Docker

kill requires a process ID.You could use pkill to kill a process by its name.

pkill docker

PID is the second column. You can see the headers without grep.

Although I feel I have to ask: How did you try to close Docker Desktop? Closing the window will not terminate the app. Have you tried “Quit Docker Desktop” from the menu?

Thank You! for 10 days that was stuck!
