The other 2 commands that are listed will also kill the egrep process and any libexec processes because the .exe isn't escaped so it is really using . meaning anything containing exe. The command i posted escapes the (dot) in .exe and then filters the actual egrep process so that it doesn't get killed before the other processes being killed. Also added the -9 switch for kill to send sigterm to the processes, in case people are wondering why processes aren't getting killed after running just kill . This should work better for people :)
0wineserver -k; killall -9 wine wineserver; for i in `ps ax|egrep "*\.exe"|grep -v 'egrep'|awk '{print $1 }'`;do kill -9 $i;done -
Kill all process that concide whit PATTERN Show Sample Output
0ps -fea | grep PATTERN | awk {'print $2'} | xargs kill -9 -
Kills all the threads from the user provided in the WHERE request. Can be refined through the SQL request, of course, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/processlist-table.html for the available columns.
0mysql -BNe "SELECT id FROM processlist WHERE user = 'redmine';" information_schema | while read id; do mysqladmin kill $id; done -
List background jobs, grep their number - not process id - and then kill them Show Sample Output
0jobs | grep -o "[0-9]" | while read j; do kill %$j; done -
Daemontools[1] won't always properly reap it's children. Sometimes when you need to kill the main svscan process, you want to also clean up all of it's children. The way to do that is to send a signal to the entire process group. It is a bit tricky [1] http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
0kill -9 -$(ps x -o "%c %r" | awk '/svscan/{print $2}') -
Execute commands serially on a list of hosts. Each ssh connection is made in the background so that if, after five seconds, it hasn't closed, it will be killed and the script will go on to the next system. Maybe there's an easier way to set a timeout in the ssh options...
0for host in $MYHOSTS; do ping -q -c3 $H 2>&1 1>/dev/null && ssh -o 'AllowedAuthe ntications publickey' $host 'command1; command2' & for count in 1 2 3 4 5; do sleep 1; jobs | wc -l | grep -q ^0\$ && continue; done; kill %1; done -
Cleaned up and silent with &>/dev/null at the end. Show Sample Output
0for host in $HOSTNAMES; do ping -q -c3 $host && ssh $host 'command' & for count in {1..15}; do sleep 1; jobs | wc -l | grep -q ^0\$ && continue; done; kill %1; done &>/dev/null -
0PID=$(ps -ef | grep processName | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2'}); kill -9 $PID
-
0pkill -f process_name

Recent versions of dd provides status flag. Setting that flag to progress shows progress in realtime.

May need to substitute 'awk' for 'gawk'.
0ps axo state,ppid | awk '!/PPID/$1~"Z"{print $2}' | xargs -r kill -9 -
-1ps aux | grep name | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

Use this if you can't type repeated killall commands fast enough to kill rapidly spawning processes. If a process keeps spawning copies of itself too rapidly, it can do so faster than a single killall can catch them and kill them. Retyping the command at the prompt can be too slow too, even with command history retrieval. Chaining a few killalls on single command line can start up the next killall more quickly. The first killall will get most of the processes, except for some that were starting up in the meanwhile, the second will get most of the rest, and the third mops up.
-2killall rapidly_spawning_process ; killall rapidly_spawning_process ; killall rapidly_spawning_process -
I found this in Ubuntu repos, and consider it better than timeout. Show Sample Output
-3timelimit -t100 somecommand -
This command kills all wine instances and each EXE application working on a PC. Here is command info: 1) ps ax > processes = save process list to file named "processes" (we save it because we don't wont egrep to be found in the future) 2) cat processes | egrep "*.exe |*exe]" = shows the file "processes" and after greps for each *.exe and *exe] in it 3) | awk '{ print $1 }' > pstokill = saves processes PID's to file "pstokill" using awk filter 4) kill $(cat pstokill) = kills each PID in file pstokill, which is shown by cat program 5) rm processes && rm pstokill = removes temporary files Show Sample Output
-4ps ax > processes && cat processes | egrep "*.exe |*exe]" | awk '{ print $1 }' > pstokill && kill $(cat pstokill) && rm processes && rm pstokill -
Did some research and found the previous command wrong, we don't kill a zombie but its parent. Just made some modifcation to khashmeshab's command.
-4ps -xaw -o state,ppid | grep Z | grep -v PID | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs kill -9 -
-5ps aux | grep 'httpd ' | awk {'print $2'} | xargs kill -9

Just find out the daemon with $ netstat -atulpe. Then type in his name and he gets the SIGTERM.
-5kill_daemon() { echo "Daemon?"; read dm; kill -15 $(netstat -atulpe | grep $dm | cut -d '/' -f1 | awk '{print $9}') }; alias kd='kill_daemon -
Removed unneeded grep -v by making the initial grep unable to match itself.
-6ps -ef | grep [j]boss | awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill -9 - < 1 2
