# This script runs 'ps gawux' and kills the processes that match the pattern. #
# Warning: It is very easy to kill more than you intended to kill.  Note that #
# on  some Unix systems, the "kill" command doesn't accept symbolic names for #
# signals; if yours is like this, then change the default '-TERM'  to  '-15'. #
# The  -<sig>  arg  may  only  be omitted when there's just a single pattern, #
# because if there are two or more args, the first is assumed to be a signal. #

# For Sys/V, you'll have to change "gawux" to "-elf" or some such.
