We know the command kill that can kill a process by its id, and we know killall that can stop the processes by its full name. What if we need to kill a process by some part of its name and/or arguments. A simple killgrep script can do and here is how it is done:
#!/bin/sh # killgrep: Usage: killgrep server.py # will kill the process running like "python server.py" echo $1 if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "killgrep:" exit 1 fi PROC=`ps auxwww | grep "$1" | grep -v grep | wc -l` if [ $PROC = "0" ]; then echo "killgrep: None killed" exit 1 fi PROC=`ps auxwww | grep "$1" | grep -v grep | perl -e '$_=<>; @u = split; print $u[1]' -` if [ ! -z $PROC ]; then echo "killgrep: Stopping process $PROC" kill $PROC fi
