I've stayed away because I could not get past the dsh -w
AIX dsh and linux dash (sometimes dsh) do not have a -w option. Per manpages for both. What does that do -- dsh -w ?

So I'm not sure what is going on. Plus the whole code design concept seems to me to be based on 'one-liner' thinking. Which is cool but not always maintainable as you are finding out.
It looks like you are trying to kill processes with files open - somewhere special. What OS and shell are you using?
