Re: problem killing a process with its pid
Thank you :) actually, kill -9 $(cat /var/run/natd.pid |cut -d -f1) in a script will work... (4 hours of work for this) for some reason, 'kill' doesn't think 'cat natd.pid' is a valid pid. i have to specially cut the first part out to get it straight i am using csh i tried your suggestions just now and below are the result kill -9 `cat /var/run/natd.pid` kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's kill -9 `cat /var/run/natd.pid|cut -d -f1` kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's what do you think is the reason? i most certainly flunk my shell... hehe rich 2008/9/14 Agus [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008/9/14 Richard Yang [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have been trying to kill the process by pulling natd.pid below are 3 typical examples among a couple dozens I tried kill -9 $(natd.pid) Illegal variable name kill -9 '/var/run/natd.pid' kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's cat /var/run/natd.pid | kill -9 (no error returned, but natd process is still up) could someone help? thanks. -- Best Regards Richard Yang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I dont think this ways are correctly form... You probably want to kill the PID thats in that file, so the use as a variable, has no use...hehe kill -9 `cat /var/run/natd.pid` Notice the quotes aren simple..they are like an ascent towards the left that will probably work If not you can also use the xargs command in the last one u put, before the kill -9...
