Shell-Script for killing processes

oulevon · 02-14-2006, 10:02 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to kill several processes with a shell script. Right now I'm doing it manually with:

Code:

ps --user oulevon | grep process_name

I then kill the listed processes one by one. Is there a way to do it in a shell script? Thanks for any help?

Do you know the command killall ?
by knowing the name you can do

Code:

killall myProcess

kill `ps --user oulevon | grep process_name | awk '{print $2}'`

Also see pgrep/pkill (pkill -SIGNAL -U username -f processname).

That did the trick. Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it.
