hi ! any idea of what could be wrong with this command line: kill -9 `ps -ef | grep `who | awk '{print $1}'` | awk '{print $3}'` root@phoenix User]# kill -9 `ps -ef | grep `who | awk '{print $1}'` | awk '{print $3}'` Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information. kill: No such pid who bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|' bash: command substitution: line 1: ` | awk '{print $3}'' [root@phoenix User]#

What do you think `ps -ef | grep ` does? The shell does do-what-I-say. I haven't yet found a shell which does do-what-I-mean. If you know one, tell me... Regards, Cees.
