[John Kennedy]

Solaris 7 has a handy pkill command that will do your bidding for you...

  I need to have a script go out and kill a group of processes, all with the

(ps
  -ax | grep datd | cut -f1 -d" ") but don't know enough about shell
  programming to figure out how to stuff that into an array, then iterate
  through that array doing a kill -9.  Any ideas? I know this should be a
quick
  2 or 3 liner, I'm just braindead on a Friday afternoon :-)  And yes, this
is
  all standard bourne shell on a Solaris 7 Ultra60.  Not that is should
matter
  to the shell...

  TIA,

  P.S. Be nice to the newbie *grin*
