Not to correct a fanatic but you need to modify that a bit.....

ps -ef | grep NERD | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs kill -9

Once you find the process(') you have to make sure your grep isn't one of them, then grab the process ID, then send that to the kill -9..... there are of course various other ways....

OP...nice tag....I had "SUN4U" a while back....most folks didn't get it.....good friend of mine had UNIX4 for his.......

So instead of "got root" it's "got enable" right?? LOL I've been in/out of Cisco, Redback and Juniper routers over the years....not so much on any of it anymore, more of a planning/engineering guy now, but I keep a Sun Box fired up at home in case the urge to "vi" something gets too great.

Hey, without them geeks (I say them because while I'm a gadget lover, I couldn't write any code for it), we'd still be driving carbureted cars.


My next vanity plate will be either:

1000101

or

2MCHHP

As a fellow IT geek who lived in WV for a while, I like it!

I'd like to get some WVU VA plates, but I figured I'd like to remain as anonymous as possible in beltway traffic. I'd hate to rub someone the wrong way in traffic and have them notice my car at a later date!

My 420SEL has a silver flying WV on it. A 126 is pretty rare around these parts (way too old), and with the wvu symbol on it, it makes it stand out even more.

I did consider plates that said some variant of 'diesel' or 'turbo diesel', but all of them were taken (by pickup truck drivers I'm assuming..).

anyways, nice looking car!
