Could someone tell me how I could set up an alias to kill a process
using something other than its number? Say, for example something like:
alias noss ???????????
What do I put in the ?????????? so that it kills the sysline in my
processes as follows: (even if the number is different?)
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
19500 v3 S 0:02 -csh (csh)
19731 v3 S 0:00 sysline -Dhr +15
Thanks for the info.
Scott

That's what I said in e-mail, but Rob pointed out that the original use of `ps -ax' probably means that this is a BSD system which will also understand the `-c' option. The giveaway is that the AT&T `ps' doesn't support `-x'. (Of course, it's always possible that there's some weird variant of a `ps' out there that accepts `-ax' and doesn't accept `-axc'. I don't know of one.) As an aside - if you're on an AT&T system, `ps -e' produces something that looks a lot like the Berkeley `ps -axc'.

As the original asker of the question, I will confirm that ps -x did what I wanted. If I type ps -ax, I get the processes for all users, not just me. I don't think the -a is necessary.
