Die the perfect kill-9?

[Seyyapc]

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

Code for die

#!/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

[mikekgr]

What about pkill xmms for example ???

What about pkill xmms for example ???

I didn't know ! Thanks for the info :P pgrep is a nice command to learn too

or

"kill `pidof xmms`

would kill all xmms programs

and

 kill `pidof -s xmms`

should kill off
