I like this way:
#!/bin/sh while true do kill -9 `ps aux | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $2 }'` sleep 2 done
put this in a script called kl. And run for ex. 'kl mozilla' when it gets to heavy.
I like the simplicity, but is the usual test for a pid done beforehand for the particular application?
Find a site on the web which describes bash scripts such as: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ and decipher the script as you would parse a sentense in english and you will *learn* for yourself what you have asked. And you will be more likely to remember the method and become self-sufficient.
Then the next time you have a similar question, you will be able to search for the answer yourself instead of *depending* on others efforts to supplement your knowledge when the information is *so* readily available.
