Shell Programming and Scripting

@murali, the greps with ... were not to be taken literally. The ... stands for the code in the curly brackets that was provided by others. You also missed a closing /
The square brackets are needed to keep awk from occasionally matching itself..

Hi,

Now I'm able to get the output as required and i can see all the tra files along with the PID's. Please help me to kill the PID's sequentially.
By Manual process when i kill the PID, the log of "ABC_Process.tra" says "Stopped"
How can i Kill each PID sequentially and get the message "Stopped" displayed by the script.

Code:

adm 1522 ABC_Process.tra
adm 1939 XYZ_Process.tra
adm 2729 EDB_Archive.tra

Code:

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

Just a heads up to the OP: that SIGKILL won't let your processes exit gracefully. Unless there's a good reason, better to use the default SIGTERM.

Regards,
Alister

I agree with alister. To put it in other words, better use kill instead of kill -9

Thank you All for your wonderful responses.
I was sick all these days hence was not able to respond.

One last thing i need to know. Hope you to help me on this.

==================================================

I tried killing one PID (27739) manually, the log file read "Terminating" when it killed the PID.

These process will RE-STARTED automatically and when it re-started the corresponding process the log file read "Started"

Can i kill these PID's seqentially using unix script and get the Message -- Terminated / Started, in my script output ?

adm 27739 ABC_Process.tra
adm 28765 XYZ_Process.tra
adm 29132 BCY_Archive.tra


Expecting Output like :
=======================

ProcessID Stopped for ABC_Process.tra
Terminated process ABC_Process.tra
Starting process ABC_Process.tra


Similary for the rest. Alternative solutions if any are most welcome.
======================================================

Raj,

Can you explain me the script you have given

ps -aux | awk '/mine/{split($15,a,"/");print $1,$2,a[length(a)]}'
I searched in forums did not get the concept behind, expect for split Syntax,
split(string,array,separator).


Please let me know how the script is working to get the preferred output
