NAME

       parkill - Kill all processes running a specified command

SYNOPSIS

       parkill [ -debug ] [ -verbose ] [ -user=name ] program

DESCRIPTION

       parkill kills all processes running a specified command.

       Many  systems  also  have  the  "killall"  command;  this  should be used instead if it is
       available.

       This script relies on the ps command; where  possible,  it  uses  the  /proc/<pid>/cmdline
       interface  to  more  reliably  access  the  commandline  (to  avoid  matching command line
       parameters as if they were functions).

OPTIONS

       -debug Print debug information.

       -verbose
              Be verbose.

       --user=name
              Only kill processes belonging to a particular user. Root  privileges  are  required
              for this option.
