NAME

parkill - Kill all processes running a specified command

SYNOPSIS

parkill [ -debug ] [ -verbose ] [ -user=name ] program

DESCRIPTION

parkill kills all processes running a specified command.

Many systems also have the "killall" command; this should be used instead if it is available.

This script relies on the ps command; where possible, it uses the /proc/<pid>/cmdline interface to more reliably access the commandline (to avoid matching command line parameters as if they were functions).

OPTIONS

-debug

Print debug information.

-verbose

Be verbose.

--user=name

Only kill processes belonging to a particular user. Root privileges are required for this option.
