   why do you need to open apps in a terminal ?

   all apps you have installed should be in your menu – one or two may not be but you can shortcut to your panel from /usr/bin

   if you have to open all from a terminal then there is something wrong

   In the terminal if you type
   pgrep "name of application"
   it will return a number that relates to that app. To kill that app type
   sudo kill xxxxx
   THat should stop that app from running.
   Good luck

   It depends on the application. Or you could just kill it.

   Often Control-C, if the app is a terminal app.
