I have had to do such things that many times that I came up with a one liner : ps -eafw | grep morituri | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill Disclaimers: Different people have different favourite 'ps' invocations embedded in their finger memories. The above is mine. A purist would say there should be a 'grep -v grep |' in the pipeline as well. A /real/ purist would say there shouldn't and that there should be one grep with a regex. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
