Pet peeve # 326; people who pipe grep output into grep and especially
if it then goes into awk.
This is somewhat more friendly (and rather more accurate as a nice byproduct);
/bin/ps -auxw \
| awk '$1 == "root" && $11 ~ "^(/usr/sbin/)?moused$" {print $2}'
| xargs kill
or
/bin/ps -auxw \
| awk '$1 == "root" && $11 ~ "^(/usr/sbin/)?moused$" {system("kill " $2)}'
depending on how many processes are likely to be killed. The former is
more efficient for 3 or more. There isn't much difference.
I'm making the assumption here that moused runs as root (I don't use it
currently).
