Execute this command:
ps aux | grep multi
Find the process ID numbers in the second column of the multichaind processes. In the example below, there are two processes, with ID numbers 19066 and 51014.
For each multichaind process, execute this command to kill it, replacing the number with the correct process ID for your server.
kill 19066
rm -rf ~/.multichain
If Multichain isn't already installed, execute these commands:
cd /tmp
wget http://www.multichain.com/download/multichain-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf multichain-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd multichain-1.0.1
