[comp.unix.questions] Summarize: killing with awk and grep

tgardenh@nmsu.edu (Tricia Gardenhire) (08/11/89)

Thanks to all who sent me their ideas.  I think I understand a little
more about how grep, and awk work now.  Any way, to summarize, the
easiest way to do this was:

kill `ps -aux | fgrep -e -sleeper | egrep -v fgrep | awk '{print $2}'`

Most other ideas were similar, but were more involved shell scripts.
For others who wish to use this, just change "-sleeper" to whatever
process you need to kill.  

Thanks again for all the help.
