Friends, I think its hightime for me to subscribe to a Unix group. If you guys know any, please let me know.
....................... I have several scripts running in the back ground and I used "nohup command &" Every 90 days, I am needing to kill those commands and restart the process again (ie. nohup command &). This is for some clean up. How can kill those processes from a script program because I have so many commands(each run a script file). Once I kill those commands, I want to restart the nohup command to run the processes in the background. How can I do this in the form of a script program or perl program(if any)? Like a script program for nohup would be like... #! /usr/bin/sh nohup command1 & nohup command2 & nohup command3 & . . . . . and to kill the processes would be like #! /usr/bin/sh kill command1 kill command2 kill command3 . . . . can you guys please help me with this? I will keep my thinking open meanwhile. The only idea I got so far is this.. ps -ef | awk '{print $1}' which prints all the users running the processes. So if I could capture my ID, then I should be able to kill my ID. But I don't know if I can kill based on UID ratherthan PID once I figure out how to get my ID. Any kind of input/ideas is highly appreciated. Thanks guys. Regards, Hari.
