except that it tries to kill all processes with that name. If you're
running as non-root (as mentioned in your LOST), then it's more or less
safe.
Let's think about some way to kill just a single instance of the
process. How about something like this:
for i in $( ps -ae | sed -e '/process-name/{s/^ *//;p;}' ); do
echo -n "Kill process: $i? [y/N] "
read kill_yn
case $kill_yn in
[yY]) kill $( echo $i | cut -f1 -d" " )
;;
esac
done
definitely much slower, but it expects user input, so hey, no
difference.
If you put this in a shellscript, then you could pass the process name
and an optional signal to send instead of -KILL
$1 is the signal if specified (starts with -) or the processname. $2 is
the processname if no signal.
