Well, Ken. It turns out I think I need to go with your method. The
'killall' command is definitely more concise, but it turns out that I
am going to have to do a partial search on the path to the process
exe just to make sure I get the right one, and killall doesn't seem
to allow that.
Okay, I think I figured out the problem.
The pid as returned from ps has a different number of leading spaces
depending on the number of digits in the pid. So using a set value
for the -f option doesn't seem to work. For example, if the pid has
four digits, using 2 works since the pid has
Chris,
Try this:
ps -awx | awk '{print $2}'
if that prints you a list of pid's you should be good to replace the cut
pipe with the awk command. By the way, what version of os X are you
running..mine doesn't seem to behave as you describe.

Excellent. That seems to work just fine. Although I had to change the
2 to 1, since the pid is the first column returned.
I'm running 10.4.10. What's different on yours?

Tried this. All parts seem to work except now I'm getting an
operation not permitted error from the kill command. I'm running it
with sudo, so I don't understand why this would happen. But I did
verify that the correct pid is now getting returned. In fact, the
entire error message reads,

I have a Vise installer for OS X that needs to check for and kill our
own process if it's running. The installer will be authenticated when
running. I need a shell script that I can execute
