Uninstall Heimdall: sudo dpkg -r matic-heimdall

Uninstall Bor: sudo dpkg -r matic-bor

Delete Heimdall: sudo rm -rf /etc/heimdall/*

Stopping services:

  1. ps -aux | grep bor . Get the PID for Bor and then run the following command.
  2. sudo kill -9 PID

Stop Heimdall: pkill heimdalld

Stop Bridge: pkill heimdalld-bridge

Stop Bor: run bash stop.sh

Stop rest-server: pkill rest-server
