Unless of course the program has a different item for its command field or is being run by a common interpreter.
When you administrate large clusters, you learn that the lowest common denominator works every time. Much better to type a few more characters in your Fabric scripts. For any item in the process stat (replace the $ITEM placeholder with what your looking for) Code: ps ax | grep $ITEM | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9Works on old and new Linux and BSD based OS that I've encountered. I've encountered quite a few installs without pkill (not that pkill helps for Python scripts unless you use '-f' for glob matching). Should work on ancient Unix installs given that awk, ps and xargs are very old programs. Slave to the Patriarchy no more

What Syn said. I have in the past worked in hetrogenous environments where in some cases you might only have the basic BSD 4.x or SysV tools. It was an absolute necessity to know the long way, and they're so deeply ingrained in my case that I still use some of them even though I know there are easier alternatives. There is also the advantage that the standard utilities have well-specified, -understood and -documented behaviors.
As I was working on Unix systems years as far back the 1980s (microVAX running 4.2BSD IIRC) I defy you to call me a noob.

The GTX1080 is a beautiful video card. Are you planning on trying to run a VR grade gaming computer? I have a 960 in my gaming laptop and it can output 4k. I like the fact 4k is affordable, but when are we going to see PC games in full in 4k? RE: Operating systems Wars!

Is everyone enjoying the thread so far? I would like to do more of these wars threads, this has been quite fun debateing the operating systems. It's looking Windows might be the winner, with Linux taking second place. Where are the Mac people to fight the horde of Windows support?
Busy being productive on our Macs. You guys have all this extra time while downloading bug fixes for the 10 updates a week.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Oh I was talking about windows.
I love Linux. More than my Mac.

Then I realized that everything works better now: networking, cloud updating on One Drive, and so on. Right now, I'm pretty happy with it. |
