Download: killp

Select processes to signal (generally, terminate) according to their command line launch text. There's lots of features - killp -? tells you all the options. Here's the script documentation comments:

 # Killp:
 # - reports each running process whose command contains an egrep-style
 #   match for the text on the killp command line
 # - solicits confirmation from the user for sending a signal to each target
 # - on each confirmation,  reports whether the signal was succesfully
 #   delivered (the user, eg, might not be privileged to signal that process)
 # - proceeds to the next qualifying process

 # The user can designate the signal to be sent just as they would with
 # the shell 'kill' command.  'TERM' is accordingly the default signal.

 # Additionally, the user can restrict the candidate process to just
 # those running under the users uid, with the '-m' option.

 # killp can be run non-interactively.  It only lists the qualified
 # candidates, delivering no signals, when the '-n' option is
 # specified.  It delivers the designated signal to all qualified
 # candidates if the '-y' option is specified.  (The '-n' option takes
 # precedence.)

 # A '--' command line option indicates that all following arguments
 # are to be taken as the match pattern.  This is useful if the initial
 # character of the match pattern is a '-'.

 # Each prompt includes the sequence number of the candidate process,
 # the total number of processes, the pid of the candidate, the command
 # text as ps sees it, the pending signal, the set of valid responses,
 # and then the default response, which will be sent on null input from
 # the user.  The initial default response is no ('n').

 # The prompting provides a number of options.  The valid responses are:
 #
 #      y - yes
 #      n - no
 #      Y - yes, and set default response to 'y'
 #      N - no, and set default response to 'n'
 #      g - 'go' - don't ask, just show rest of candidates and do default action
 #      q - 'quit' - no more killing, exit immediately
 #      ? - show this message
 #
 # The 'g' response allows the user to indicate that all the remaining
 # candidates should be treated with the default response, which can
 # first be reset to 'y' or 'n' using the 'Y' or 'N' responses.
