Kill PID with one liner
Hello Friends,

I've been trying to write a one line which checks java processes and filter them for a user (testuser) and then check process arguments with PARGS command and then check if there is certain patterns exists in pargs output then kill the process.

I have tried the following so far, could you please help to complete the one liner? I also appreciate if you could verify what I'm doing is the right way to achive it or not.

Code:
ps -ef | grep java | grep -v grep | nawk '$1~/testuser/{system( "pargs "$2"|grep -i tomcat.*/conf/.*properties" )}'

output is:
Code:
argv[1]: -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/opt/test/customeradaptations/tomcat-mgway/conf/logging.properties
argv[5]: -Ddatabase.properties=/opt/test/customeradaptations/tomcat-mgway/conf/database.properties
argv[17]: -DmsisdnRangeFile=/opt/test/customeradaptations/tomcat-mgway/conf/msisdnRangeFile.properties

So I would like to kill the process as there are matching patterns in the output lines.

Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards
EAGL€

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
