[aclug-L] Re: script to kill

["Wilner, Alden" <alden.wilner@xxxxxxxx>]

Y'know, I just remembered this little Korn shell script I've got here...

You type something like "pskill dd" and it'll kill all process that include
"dd" anywhere in the ps list, except
the one that you launched the command from ($$).

Unfortunately for you I'm too lazy to translate this into bash, but I think
it's about as simpe as removing some minus signs.

Anyhow, the answer to your question is: stay away from the "$$" process.
It's you.

Thanks to Jon Beadles for writing this several centuries ago (in dog years).

text=$1

ps -ef | egrep "$text" | grep -v grep |
while read line
do
        set $line x
        process=$2
        if [ $process -ne $$ ]
        then
                kill -9 $process
        fi
done
