A Unix Utility to Know About: lsof (2009)

Sometimes, I want something a little more murderous, so I tend to write this script on most systems I use:

    ps -ef | grep $1 | awk '{print "kill -9 " $2}' | sh

Usually stored as /usr/local/bin/kll

I've found it's very useful for killing specific Java programs without having to killall -9 java.

(and, yeah, I should probably be using ps -efww instead of ps -ef, but old habits die hard... I've already got ps aliased to ps -ww for interactive use, so I should probably change this script...)

You should try jps it's similar to ps but only lists java processes with their real names instead of just "java". It's included in pretty much every JDK.
