NAME
parkill - Kill all processes running a specified command
SYNOPSIS
parkill [ -debug ] [ -verbose ] [ -user=name ] program
DESCRIPTION
parkill kills all processes running a specified command.
Many systems also have the "killall" command; this should be used instead if it is available.
This script relies on the ps command; where possible, it uses the /proc/<pid>/cmdline interface to more reliably access the commandline (to avoid matching command line parameters as if they were functions).
OPTIONS
- -debug
-
Print debug information.
- -verbose
-
Be verbose.
- --user=name
-
Only kill processes belonging to a particular user. Root privileges are required for this option.
