Offer for killall-script

Offer for killall-script

[Ralf Habacker]

In the cygwin-apps I have seen some messages
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-01/msg00340.html about a killall
util, which was going to be part of the cygutils packages but was waiting
because of licensing problems.

For killall I'm using a good working script for about a half year. Perhaps
anyone like this to integrate in the cygutils package. This script allows
killing more than one task, because it does a grep with the first param.

syntax: killall <taskname> | <tasknamepart>


$ cat /bin/killall
ps -ea | grep $1 | gawk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -9 " $1); }'

Regards

Ralf Habacker

See Randal's "Usesless Use of kill -9" posts...

i.e. the signal sent should be configurable :-)

Okay I've read this - Does anyone have a solution for this or should this wheel
have to created again ?

It seems not to be, so this script do it.

$ cat /bin/killall
ps -ea | grep $1 | awk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -15 " $1); }'
sleep 1
ps -ea | grep $1 | awk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -2 " $1); }'
sleep 1
ps -ea | grep $1 | awk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -1 " $1); }'

 Ralf

At such time as the /proc patch is accepted into the Cygwin DLL, it should
be possible to coerce killall from psmisc to compile and run.
