parkill - Kill all processes running a specified command
Contents
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).
Name
