hi killerserv,
thanks for ther response, but i think i need to explain more..
well, I am using a HP Unix system.
and I generally use
ps -u username
and try that..
but when i have a number of same processes and i want to kill only one of them.. such as
i have 4 netscapes running out of which i need to kill one.. i do not know which id corresponds to which process..
like......
$ps -u username | grep netscape
3598 pts/1 0:00 netscape
4561 ? 0:00 netscape
3596 pts/1 4:07 netscape
4560 ? 1:31 netscape
3794 ? 3:34 netscape
3795 ? 0:00 netscape
now is there a way to identify that from the netsacpe itself?
thanks,
sskb
