Killing multiple jobs

Hi All,

I have number of jobs to be killed and I get the PID by doing

ps -aux | grep -i irq | awk '{print $2}'

which gives me all the process id's that I need to kill. How do I kill all of them in the command line?

thanks,

Looks like the following command will kill all the jobs.

ps -aux | grep -i irq | awk "{print $2}' | xargs kill

I do the following:

ps -aux | grep -i irq | awk '{print "kill "$2}' |sh -x

The -x means you get to see it killing each process.
I use this method when, say, removing/moving/copying lots of files, so that can see it in progress and not just wait for the command prompt to return.

Cheers, Andy

Why don't you use:

killall irq

instead?
