                          I am trying to change the home directory of a user. using 

usermod ravishshankar --home /var/www/domainname/public_html/ but get 

usermod: user username is currently used by process 1378
I try to kill pid 1378 but get bash: kill: pid: arguments must be process or job IDs

I tried pkill -STOP -u user but still get process 8009 in user by the user.
