awk script

[Tom Christiansen]

>From the keyboard of drears at pica.army.mil:
:   I need to write a shell script that will allow users to kill all thier
:processes associated that a program name.  This script will run on a HP
:9000/835, which is a SYSV Unix.
:
:  I am having problems with the awk script in the following script
:fragment:
: 
:CMD='artemis'
:ME=`whoami`
:PROC=`ps -ef|grep /${CMD}|            \
:awk '{ $1 == ${ME} && $8 != "grep"  $2 }' `
:kill -HUP ${PROC}

Two problems: 
    you don't want that slash in the grep command,
    you can't depend on field counts on ps (on mine at least)

There is a nice zap script in the perl book, or available on uunet.
