to kill a process in perl
Hi friends,
I have a perl script which needs to kill all java processes running on both windows and unix.
currently I'm getting the OS and killing the process by using system.
my code is:
if ($os eq MSWin32)
system("taskkill java");
else
system("kill -9 java")
Is there any way where I can kill the java processes using perl function common on both the Operating systems.
Thanks and regards,
Guru

KILL(1) General Commands Manual KILL(1)
NAME
kill, broke - print commands to kill processes
SYNOPSIS
kill name
broke
DESCRIPTION
Kill prints commands that will cause all processes called name and owned by the current user to be terminated. Use the send command of
81/2(1), or pipe the output of kill into rc(1) to execute the commands.
Kill suggests sending a kill note to the process; the same message delivered to the process's ctl file (see proc(3)) is a surer, if heavy
handed, kill, but is necessary if the offending process is ignoring notes.
Broke prints commands that will cause all processes in the Broken state and owned by the current user to go away. When a process dies
because of an error caught by the system, it may linger in the Broken state to allow examination with a debugger. Executing the commands
printed by broke lets the system reclaim the resources used by the broken processes.
