killing processes

NDO — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 09:30:48 GMT

I have a bunch of processes, that I have to kill them, :

report 22523 1 0 Oct 4 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 22526 22523 0 Oct 4 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 29079 29057 0 Oct 2 ? 28:09 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 24838 24836 0 Oct 10 ? 28:38 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 23313 23258 0 Oct 17 ? 28:16 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 5875 5872 0 Oct 8 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 26097 1 0 Oct 5 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 5235 1 0 Oct 20 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 2879 2878 0 Oct 24 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 4770 1 0 Oct 6 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 6240 1 0 Sep 28 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 2881 2879 0 Oct 24 ? 27:49 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 13433 13429 0 Oct 13 ? 28:52 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 5238 5235 0 Oct 20 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 3072 1 0 Oct 12 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 5872 1 0 Oct 8 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 5926 5875 0 Oct 8 ? 28:24 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 5264 5238 0 Oct 20 ? 27:53 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 22764 22761 0 Oct 15 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh report 25189 1 0 Oct 22 ? 0:00 sh -c /home/report/aceitala/aceitala_load.ksh

How can I kill them all once, instead of one by one?

all of them have a name in common, but PID is different.

Do you mean at exactly the same time, or using one command to do them
all, or what?

Use a "kill" command with a list of the PID values?

man kill

How did you produce that report, some kind of "ps" command? Are you
really asking how to extract the PID values from the "ps" output?

Possibly interesting:

$ echo ' report 5872 1 0 ' | sed -e 's/ *[^ ]* *$[^ ]*$ .*/\1/' 5872

How did you get the list of processes ?

>How can I stop them all once, instead of one by one?

You can get PID of procsses from "ps -ef" command and then use a script to terminate the PIDs.

Please check following discussion links on similar query :

I just want to use one command to kill them all.

What I have done so far is to use the kill command plus the PID like:

kill 11458 4385 5245 21619 23436

but there are so many of them

I have listed the processes using the following command:

ps -ef | grep aceitala | more

I wonder if this command will work:

ps -ef | grep report | awk '{print $10;}' | grep aceitala |xargs kill

You might find it easier to use 'ps' in the 'UNIX Standard' mode:

I have listed the processes using the following command:

ps -ef | grep aceitala | more

(can't quote code block?)

... like:

[ host ~ ] $ ps -aef | grep cimprovagt root 2046 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 1:02 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXSASIndicationProviderModule root 2045 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 0:21 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXSASNativeIndicationProviderModule root 2044 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 1:02 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXRAIDSAIndicationProviderModule root 2043 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 0:21 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXRAIDSANativeIndicationProviderModule root 2042 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 0:06 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root EMSHAProviderModule root 2037 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 259:51 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root SFMProviderModule root 2041 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 19:23 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXLANIndicationProviderModule root 2047 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 1:23 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule root 2104 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 1:05 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 8 root HPUXLANProviderModule root 2052 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 0:06 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root SGProvidersModule root 2051 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 1:16 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXStorageNativeProviderModule root 2050 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 11:40 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXStorageIndicationProviderModule root 2049 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 3070:24 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXIOTreeIndicationProviderModule root 2048 2035 0 Jan 7 ? 0:22 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 4 9 root HPUXFCNativeIndicationProviderModule user 16346 15263 0 14:28:37 pts/0 0:00 grep cimprovagt [ host ~ ] $ env UNIX95=1 ps -C cimprovagt -o pid PID 2046 2045 2044 2043 2042 2037 2041 2047 2104 2052 2051 2050 2049 2048

I wonder if this command will work:

ps -ef | grep report | awk '{print $10;}' | grep aceitala |xargs kill

could be a little more precise with:

[ host ~ ] $ env UNIX95=1 ps -C cimprovagt -o pid | grep -v PID | xargs kill kill: 2046: permission denied kill: 2045: permission denied kill: 2044: permission denied kill: 2043: permission denied kill: 2042: permission denied kill: 2037: permission denied kill: 2041: permission denied kill: 2047: permission denied kill: 2104: permission denied kill: 2052: permission denied kill: 2051: permission denied kill: 2050: permission denied kill: 2049: permission denied kill: 2048: permission denied

Your command will list all the processes owned by user cimprovagt, but I just to want to delete a partcular processes of user report not all of them, that is why I use the

ps -ef | grep aceitala | more

because I want to kill alll processes that involve "aceitala" string from user report.
