Hi Jan, I had a look at the specific part of killall and it already calculates the length of process command names and given options so it was a simple matter of adding an additional check.
https://gitlab.com/psmisc/psmisc/commit/1188315cd037d73bf946a0003b70c6423cc330d2 So if the process command name is 15 characters and the given name is 15 or more characters, try to match on the 1st 15 characters only. I tested it with a long named process: $ ../alongnametestprocess.sh & [1] 9830 $ ps -o comm 9830 COMMAND alongnametestpr $ src/killall alongnametestprocess [1]+ Terminated ../alongnametestprocess.sh - Craig -- Craig Small https://dropbear.xyz/ csmall at : dropbear.xyz Debian GNU/Linux https://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org Mastodon: @[email protected] Twitter: @smallsees GPG fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5
