kill process script

Hello,

I need a shell script which will kill all processes having the name "psybnc".

I will put it in my crontab.

regards,
Adnan

under FreeBSD it is not killing my processes.

Any other idea, or how to make a shell script to do it.

regards,
Adnan

killall *is* a FreeBSD command.

If it doesn't work for you, then either you don't have the correct permissions, or your processes do not react correctly. Try "killall -9 psybnc".
