Given a process name (kdiff3 in this example) that keeps auto-spawning/starting, auto-kill until it stops, assuming there is an upper limit (if not, reboot). This was beneficial after I clicked the DIFF button in a git GUI on a merge commit. 2000+ files were being opened one after the other in my diff program (kdiff3). Each time I closed one (or quit Kdiff3), the next file would be auto-opened in Kdiff3.
0while [ ! -z $(ps -A | grep -m1 kdiff3 | awk '{print $1}') ]; do kill -9 $(ps -A | grep -m1 kdiff3 | awk '{print $1}'); sleep 1; done -
