Send SIGTERM signal to a process running inside ssh

Question

Is it possible to send a SIGTERM (or other) signal to a process inside ssh, for example:

ssh hostname 'sleep 10; echo done'

What can I do to interrupt the sleep command? If I press ctrl-c, the ssh command gets interrupted.

Answer 1

If you knew the pid of the remote process then you could do: ssh hostname 'kill -TERM $pid'
