never thought ppl would need this. Here's what I use:
ps| grep $LOGNAME | awk '{ if (index($0,"gvim") && index($8,"awk")==0) print
$2}'
ps - get processes
grep - remove other users' processes (just in case)
awk - very ineffecient usage, but works - just get the second column for
those rows where the process (gvim) in this case is running and not awk
pipe to kill :
ps| grep $LOGNAME | awk '{ if (index($0,"gvim") && index($8,"awk")==0) print
$2}' | xargs kill
while we are on it, here's one more to copy certain type of files to some
directory
find ./ -name *.ext | xargs -I {} cp {} <target dir>
Possible and required improvement
get details from command line rather than hard coding
ps| grep $LOGNAME | awk '{ if (index($0,"gvim") && index($8,"awk")==0) print
$2}' | xargs kill
Here are a few more I use:
