==============================
Yes.  man ps explains
try   ps -AFL  | grep [known filename or cmdlin token]
then  kill -9 [PID] found (check it more than twice)

1) If your script is known to hang use what another wrote:
     py s.py tokens &
     capture=$!         (get the PID ready)
     kill -9 $capture

2) If you are like the other 99% needing the PID because we didn't know 
we were going to need it, use the ps/grep combo.


   Try not to damage your system.
   Which means: Trying to automate this is VERY dangerous!
                How long since your last full backup? And of course you
                can redo everything since last backup from memory, yes?
                It hangs, you kill it manually.
