gurus,

normally to stop a process ,i need to kill all its child & then parent process.
i do it manually as follows

bash-2.03$ ps -ef | grep bpm|grep -v grep
tibadmin 21882 21875 0 May 27 ? 0:00 /bin/sh ./bpmse_20.sh -Xms512m -Xmx512m /tibco/UpdateCustomer/dat/UpdateCustome

tibadmin 9067 9061 0 Jun 05 ? 0:00 /bin/sh ./bpmse_20.sh /tibco/Wireline/OM/dat/OMWIrelineBPM -p /tibco/Wireline/O


bash-2.03$ ptree 9061
9061 /bin/sh /tibco/Wireline/OM/scripts/startWirelineOM.sh
9067 /bin/sh ./bpmse_20.sh /tibco/Wireline/OM/dat/OMWIrelineBPM -p /tibco/Wireline/O
9075 /usr/j2se/jre/bin/../bin/sparc/native_threads/java -server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m

bash-2.03$ kill -9 9061 9067 9075

there are two more things to be done apart from this...

what i want is to put all these tasks in a shell script
last 2 tasks i can put in a shell script...but how can i kill PID's from 'ptree' output due to their irregular display.....i need to grep these PID's & kill them...

ANY suggestions on this?



my second query is like these :

i have 100 files & each of these files contain a specific word in them...
i need to search this word in all these files ,how can i do it?


thanks & regards
