Automating process killing…
By Matt | September 10, 2009
The one-liner: ps -ef | grep http_load | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $2}’ | xargs kill
The in-depth explanation:
ps -ef | grep http_load lists all the processes with http_load in their name. That’s the processes I want to kill.
grep -v grep removes from that process list the process which listed the other processes.
awk ‘{print 2}’ grabs the process id
Piping it to xargs kill …kills it. Nice and neat.
I love a nice, simple evil line of BASH.
