perl check and kill process
Hi All

How can i in perl check for a running process and if it is running kill it

the issue might be that there will be more than one of the same process and i want to kill all of them
the process is below

Code:
root      1944     1  0 16:28 ?        00:00:01 x11vnc -display :0 -dontdisconnect -shared -nopw -forever -bg -o /tmp/x11vnc.log
root      2212     1  0 16:35 ?        00:00:00 x11vnc -display :0 -dontdisconnect -shared -nopw -forever -bg -o /tmp/x11vnc.log

thanks
Adam
