RE: Answer: How do i obtain the PID of a program already running. UPDATE

[cwest]

I can't update my own posts... grrr!

Change perl -pe to perl -ne actually...

ps -C httpd|perl -ne'($_)=/(\d+)/;`kill -9 $_` if $_'

That seems better to me.

No no no. Don't use kill -9. Ever. Grr. Bad code. bad code.
