Kills all processes matching a pattern (killmatch)

gistfile2.rb

# !/usr/bin/env ruby

# USAGE
# sudo killmatch Rails

unless ARGV[0]
  puts "Specify a pattern to kill! i.e killmatch Rails"
  exit
end


pids = `ps -ef | grep -vE \"^USER|grep|killmatch\" | grep #{ARGV[0]}" | awk '{print $2;}`.chomp.split("\n")
pids.each do |pid|
  puts "Killing process #{ARGV[0]} #{pid}'"
  system "kill -9 #{pid}"
end

killmatch

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# USAGE
# sudo killmatch Rails

unless ARGV[0]
  puts "Specify a pattern to kill! i.e killmatch Rails"
  exit
end

processes = `ps -ef | grep #{ARGV[0]}`.split("\n").map { |s| s.gsub(/\s+/, ' ').strip }
processes.reject! { |p| p =~ /killmatch/ || p =~ /grep/ || p =~ /ps -ef/ }
process_data = processes.map { |p| p.split(" ") }
process_data.each do |pd|
  puts "Killing process '#{pd[0]}' with pid '#{pd[1]}'"
  system("kill -9 #{pd[1]}")
end

ps -ef | grep -vE "^USER|grep" | grep "Rails"

grep -vE "^USER|grep|killmatch" prevent to show you in the process list the "grep/killmatch command"

Another way:

pids = `ps -ef | grep -vE \"^USER|grep|killmatch\" | grep #{ARGV[0]}" | awk '{print $2;}`.chomp.split("\n")
pids.each do |pid|
  puts "Killing process #{ARGV[0]} #{pid}'"
  system "kill -9 #{pid}"
end

That's handy. Thanks Dave.

There isn't an option in passanger to kill process after they are idle for XX time? I've the same problem.
