I originally had a script written in pure shell that I used to parse logs in real time and create a pipe delimited file that only contained errors. It worked but it was using a lot of memory (still not clear on why). I originally got around this by writing a wrapper for the script that ran on cron... (1 Reply)

I had issues with processes locking up. This script checks for processes and kills them if they are older than a certain time.
Its uses some functions you'll need to define or remove, like slog() which I use for logging, and is_running() which checks if this script is already running so you can... (0 Replies)

KILL(1) General Commands Manual KILL(1)
NAME
kill - terminate a process with extreme prejudice
SYNOPSIS
kill [ -sig ] processid ...
kill -l
DESCRIPTION
Kill sends the TERM (terminate, 15) signal to the specified processes. If a signal name or number preceded by `-' is given as first argu-
ment, that signal is sent instead of terminate (see sigvec(2)). The signal names are listed by `kill -l', and are as given in
/usr/include/signal.h, stripped of the common SIG prefix.
The terminate signal will kill processes that do not catch the signal; `kill -9 ...' is a sure kill, as the KILL (9) signal cannot be
caught. By convention, if process number 0 is specified, all members in the process group (i.e. processes resulting from the current
login) are signaled (but beware: this works only if you use sh(1); not if you use csh(1).) Negative process numbers also have special
meanings; see kill(2) for details.
The killed processes must belong to the current user unless he is the super-user.
The process number of an asynchronous process started with `&' is reported by the shell. Process numbers can also be found by using ps(1).
Kill is a built-in to csh(1); it allows job specifiers of the form ``%...'' as arguments so process id's are not as often used as kill
arguments. See csh(1) for details.
SEE ALSO
csh(1), ps(1), kill(2), sigvec(2)
BUGS
A replacement for ``kill 0'' for csh(1) users should be provided.
