script

[Mark Mitchell]

Is there a way to create a script that can be fired off that scans for all processes like "cognos" and kills them.

ps -ef |grep cognos | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill

Try this:

#!/bin/sh
ps -ef|grep cognos|grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'|
while read i
do
kill -9 $i
done
