I'm pondering about implementing pkill like functionality in kill, instead of introducing a new command specific for the purpose. My idea is basicly to make `kill' accept a name instead of just a pid, so the command would look something like:
kill [-s SIG | -SIGNAL] PID | NAME Personally, I think this makes more sense than introducing pkill (or for that matter, killall). And is cleaner. What do people think about this? (Note, I'm only pondering about it, I don't know when I'll get about implementing it, I was also pondering about doing something similar to GNU ps (it is in the Hurd), where you could specify something like `ps --match-name=NAME') _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
