Answer 1

You can kill the process that runs the php command. If you use linux run:

ps aux | less

to see the processes and the PIDs. After run:

 kill [PID]

to kill the process with the [PID] you want.

Answer 2

Similar answer to one posted already except a bit easier/clearer

ps -aux | grep 'php bin/magento'

kill -9 [PID]

Alternatively if you still had the console window open you can use [ctrl] + [c]
