Of course.

This is the power of unix. A lot of programs which do simple things but
when stitched together do really powerful things.

Unix forever.

Hi Vic,

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't very clear. I don't want to kill ALL processes.
I 
only want to kill the top most process.

Is there a way to limit the std output? so that only 1 PID gets sent to
be 
killed?

TIA,
Andrew
