Greetings...
Best way is if you are launching them in the first place, then have the
programs internally check the time and shutdown themselves down when it is
6am. Personally, I prefer this method as it allows you a clean orderly
shutdown.
sleep 300;
&shutdown if( (localtime())[2] == 5 );
rinse and repeat...
- or -
Have the programs write their PID to files in a specific location. Open the
file(s) and you have the PIDs to kill them.
- or -
Pull in the results from ps and parse out the information you need.
@ps = `ps -ef`;
foreach(@ps)
...and so on...

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] kill a process
Hi all,
I need to kill a dozen perl programs running
simultaneously. I would like to kill them every
morning after 6 am but I don't know how to reference
the 12 programs. Usually I use kill PID, but in this
case I don't know the PID. If I do a ps -al I can see
that all perl programs have CMD perl. How do I kill a
process knowing its CMD?
Thanks a lot,
Dan
