I'm trying to be a good citizen and make sure my notebook session is terminated immediately after running even if I'm not sitting at my machine.

Is there any code I can run in a notebook cell to achieve this?

A rather ugly but efficient solution might be

!kill $(ps aux | awk '{print $2}')

ps aux will give you a list of any process running in the machine, awk '{print $2}' will extract the PID of every process currently running and finally kill will stop them, sending a SIGTERM signal.

This will give you a message "Runtime disconnected" and the session will be closed, you can see it worked under "Runtime" > "Manage sessions".

You can see the available system aliases here

!pkill --oldest

!pkill is used to kill the program and --oldest is used to kill the oldest program
