[SunHELP] Killing processes Part Deux

[Nicholas Dronen]

This may not be the ultimate answer, but you shouldn't do

for i in [ list ]
do `kill $i`
done

Rather, remove the backticks.

for i in [ list ] ; do
	kill $i 
done

I don't know if what you sent to the list is port mortem
output or the real thing, but your use of backticks stuck
out to me.
