Oops forgot the grep bit.
kill -9 `ps -ef | grep "whatever" | awk '{print $2}'`

Subject: [WBEL-users] Another Shell Scripting Question
Dear Gurus,
Thanks for all who responded to my previous question. It worked great!
I am now trying to perform a "ps aux | grep "some regular expression" |
cut -f 2 -d ......"
I seem to be having 2 problems.
1) What delimiter should I define for cut? I've tried " " (space) but
that does not work.
2) I usually get 2 processes listed. The actualy one I'm looking for and
the line I just executed. How can I exclude the 2nd process which also
contains the same "grep regular expression" ?
The above is part of a longer one-liner command I'm trying to construct.
I basically want to kill a specific process and I just want to obtain
the PID for it. So, it may end up looking like this??
$ ps aux | grep "some regular expression" | cut -f 2 -d ...... | xargs
kill -9
Or something along those lines...
Hope someone out there can help me.
Thanks again. :)
Best Regards,
Andrew
