Unix Script -- To Skip killing a specific process

Hi,

By using
Code:
ps -aux | awk '/mine/{split($15,a,"/");print $1,$2,a[length(a)]}'

i get the below listed PID's with there corresponding processes.

Code:
adm 1522 ABC_Process.tra
adm 1939 GENE_Process.tra
adm 2729 GENE_Archive.tra
adm 3259 xyz_Process.tra

I use
Code:
ps -aux | awk '/mine/{split($15,a,"/");print $1,$2,a[length(a)]}' | while read a PID b; do kill -9 $PID; done

to kill the process gracefully.

But from the listed processes i do not want "GENE" processes to be killed, and the rest should be.

Is there a way to perform it in the unix script and print me the output of the same, in which GENE process should not be touched.

Expecting output like :
Code:
1522 ABC_Process.tra  is killed gracefully
3259  XYZ_Process.tra is killed gracefully

Any alternative ways are most welcome

--- Murali.

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do rtl layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --encoding=ENCODING Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
