[SunHELP] xargs ?

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

Useless use of awk ?

ps -u baduser -o pid

is asimplier way to return every baduser's process pids.

	Useless use of grep?

	kill $(ps -ef | awk ' /baduser/ { print $2 } ' )

	It is not compleatly clean as someone editing a file called
	'baduser' may also be killed. This is likely when you have a user
	called 'foo' as we do (stupid account system from above).

	Maybe

	kill $(ps -ef | awk ' "baduser" == $1 { print $2 }' )

	is better.
