Killing a process by name in ubuntu
Jump to Comments
I have to kill mongrel alot because it’s a flea-bitten mutt.
My usual method was to do a ps -aux | grep mongrel , find the pid and kill it!
Annoying and stupid!
Now I just use the nice pkill tool in ubuntu like so.
pkill mongrel
boom! All bad doggies killed! This probably works on other *nix flavors, but who knows if your stupid admin installed it.

Alternatively, ‘killall mongrel’ will have more or less the same effect, and is avaliable on all Linux, and probably most UNIX.
