at -f (script) now how to kill?

[debjit-India]

I started a job with the below command
at -f /usr/script.sh now
script.sh contains lot of jobs and takes 30-40 hours to complete. In between I need to kill the job started by at for some emergency reason.

As "at" with now option doesnot create any job id in /var/spool/atjobs, how i can kill this job?

you can simply kill -9

check what are the commands are there in script.

run ps -ef|grep command

Check, confirm and kill -9

do not worry about any at thing, it has done its work and went to sleep.

You wrote, "script.sh contains lot of jobs and takes 30-40 hours to complete"

There must be a proces which runs for 30-40 hours!! grep for that. If its not there, it may have already gone past.

ps -ef|grep script.sh not showing anything.

I can grep for ps -ef|grep (command in the script), if I kill that next process start.

ps -ef|grep script.sh not showing anything.

I can grep for ps -ef|grep (command in the script), if I kill that next process start. the script has 220 commands. i killed the cron, but the script still running.

when u run ps -ef, take a look the 3rd column, PPID, which is the parent ID of the process... Trace the parent and parent of parent... I think you can find out one at the top of them... kill this one 1st... the child will not be re-generated...

You can write a script to kill all the commands in your script. Provided that the command name is in the 1st column of each line in your script, do:

> for i in `cat script.sh |awk '{print$1}'`
> kill -9 $i
> sleep 3
> done
