# This script runs 'ps -wax' 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 BSD, you'll have to change "-wax" to "gawwux" or some such.
# The Kill.sys5 version, which uses -elf, will also work on linux.
