I am attempting to write a script that would kill any processes using the
kill command after the script greps' for the process(es) arguments.
For example, I have these process that I would like kill both by running
one script that greps for 'adminex:/' for example.
root 104368 90326 0 Nov 19 - 0:01 rcp -rp ./banner adminex:/
root 75010 73126 0 Nov 28 - 0:08 rcp -rp ./users adminex:/
Here is the core of script so far -
kill 'ps -efo "%p %a" | grep $1 | cut -c 1-6'
# !grepkill.shl adminex
!grepkill.shl: ps -efo "%p %a" | grep $1 | cut -c 1-6: Specify a process
identifier or a %job number.
If I just run the script without the kill part, I get a list of all the PIDS
10000
10001
10002
which is good, but it fails on the kill part. I know it has to be
something simple. What am I doing wrong? I am sure someone has a more
elegant script(s).
