Cannot "close" jackd once I "open" it

Asked by godmarck

Actually the problem is that I do not know how to get rid of it after I've finished using it...
I open it the following way in order to play some effects on my guitar:
-----
sudo -i
jackd -d alsa&
creox&
---------
And then I happily play my guitar but when I'm done, I don't know how to close it properly (I mean, without having to restart my computer...)
The problem is that once I hook jackd to alsa, I cannot play any music on my computer, I think that is probably because I'm using the sound input-output for jackd.
I looked into the man jackd but didn't get any info on how to close it out...
Any help please?
Probably it is something really easy.
Thanks in advance

Try the clean way, which is, at a guess: "/etc/init.d/jack stop" (if not, try replacing jack with jackd, or looking in the folder /etc/init.d to see what it is called)

Failing that, kill it: "sudo killall jackd"
