[Sunhelp] RE: Problem on creating a script to kill processes

[Lund, Dennis]

Try this handy little command:

	ps -ef | awk '/<name>/ {print $2}' | xargs kill

Where <name> is a unique part of the process command or user name.

	example: ps -ef | awk '/nfs/ {print $2}' | xargs kill

This will kill all processes that have the pattern "nfs" in it.
