We use a for loop

for pid in `ps -ef | grep xxxxx | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
do
   kill $pid
done

Hope this helps

Subject: Script to kill processes after grep
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).
