In Single Command "How to kill the particular user process"

[Saraswathy_1]

Hey can any one help me in killing user process in single command.
An application user owns 50 process if one process is hung I have to kill all the processes manually so 50 times I need to use kill command.

I wanted to avoid this tedious job.

You need a little script:

PROCESSES=`UNIX95= ps -U $USERNAME | \
grep -v PID |awk '{ print $1 }' | sort -n`
. for PROC in $PROCESSES
. do
. echo "\tKilling process $PROC"
. kill -9 $PROC
. done

You can do it as,

# ps -f | awk '!/COMMAND/ { print $1 }' | xargs kill -9

# ps -f | awk '!/COMMAND/ { print "kill -9 "$1 }' | ksh

# kill -9 `ps -f | awk '!/COMMAND/ { print $1 }'`

hth.

If I think waaaay back, I remember that if you run 'who -u', that will give you the login job number. If you kill that one, maybe they all die with it? Le me know.
