My Debian is running bash. I need to make a script that can find the PID for a Java application, where the process string contains 'proximus', and 'kill -9' that process. My Java process spawns quite some threads, so I need to kill the main process, not one of the threads. How do I do this, I have no clue, and no shell programming experience, so please explain it to me carefully, a complete example would just be great, with some explanation so I don't have to ask again :) -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:neigaard@e-box.dk -- "In the beginning the Universe was created.
