Die the perfect kill-9?

To me is very handly for those multi-treadh apps...

Code for die

Code:

#!/bin/bash
kill -9 `ps aex | grep $1 | grep -v grep | awk '(print $1}'`

Instead of kill -9 pid...you can do "die appname"

Ex: die xmms

or

Code:

"kill `pidof xmms`

would kill all xmms programs

and

Code:

 kill `pidof -s xmms`

should kill off
