Re: Finding running processes?

[Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg guyana net gy>]

ps aux | grep aaron | awk '{print $7}'|xargs kill -9

this does the following:

"ps aux " find all processes
"grep aaron" owned by aaron
"awk '{print $7}'" extract the process id, note that it may not be the
seventh field in
                            the output, just do a "ps aux | grep aaron" and
see which field has
                            the process id in it... substitute that for $7,
example $2 for the
                            second field...
"xargs kill -9" pass the process id to "kill -9" for termination...

I like this, it can be setup as a nice script for killing all processes
owned by a user or modified as you wish...

Sorry to go on so long,

hope I helped :)
