killall

        Before I write my own script, has anyone already knocked together
a "killall" script which functions like the IRIX killall for use on 
machines which have no such convenience?

________________________________________________________________________________

I have a short c-prog that will do it (you may have to modify it for other
machines):

#include <stdio.h>

main(argc, argv)
  int argc;
  char *argv[];
{
    int i, pid, end=0;
    char *itoa();
    char s[50], bs[100], t1[20][25], *a;
    FILE *fp;

    if (argc < 2)
    {
        printf ("usage: %s jobname\n",argv[0]);
        exit();
    }
 for (i=2; i<=argc; ++i)
 {
    tmpnam(t1[i]);
    sprintf (s,"ps -fu %d | grep %s > %s\0",getuid(),argv[i-1],t1[i]);
    system (s);
    fp = fopen (t1[i],"r");
    if ((fgets(s, 9, fp) == NULL))
    {
       printf ("%s no such job running\n",argv[i-1]);
       end=1;
    }
    else
    {
       fscanf (fp,"%d",&pid);
       fgets (s, 34, fp);
       fscanf (fp,"%s",s); fgets (bs,256,fp);
       if ((strcmp(s,argv[i-1])) == 0)
       {
          printf ("killing %d\n",pid);
          kill (pid,9);
       }
    }
    if (end == 0)
    {
       while ((fgets(s, 9, fp) != NULL))
       {
          fscanf (fp,"%d",&pid);
          fgets (s, 34, fp);
          fscanf (fp,"%s",s); fgets (bs,256,fp);
          if ((strcmp(s,argv[i-1])) == 0)
          {
             printf ("killing %d\n",pid);
             kill (pid,9);
          }
       }
    }
    fclose (fp);
    end=0;
  }
  for (i=2; i<=argc; ++i)
	remove(t1[i]);
}
