通过程序名字杀死进程

ller

                如果firefox死掉了，可以通过ps aux|grep firefox查找到它的pid，然后杀死，也可以直接通过pkill firefox杀死进程，它会对名字进行匹配，具体用法参考它的manual
NAME
pgrep, pkill - look up or signal processes based on name and other attributes

SYNOPSIS
pgrep [-flvx] [-d delimiter] [-n|-o] [-P ppid,...] [-g pgrp,...]
       [-s sid,...] [-u euid,...] [-U uid,...] [-G gid,...]
       [-t term,...] [pattern]
pkill [-signal] [-fvx] [-n|-o] [-P ppid,...] [-g pgrp,...]
       [-s sid,...] [-u euid,...] [-U uid,...] [-G gid,...]
       [-t term,...] [pattern]

DESCRIPTION
pgrep looks through the currently running processes and lists the
process IDs which matches the selection criteria to stdout.  All
the criteria have to match.  For example,
pgrep -u root sshd
will only list the processes called sshd AND owned by root.
On the other hand,
pgrep -u root,daemon
will list the processes owned by root OR daemon.
pkill will send the specified signal (by default SIGTERM)
to each process instead of listing them on stdout.

OPTIONS
-d delimiter
Sets the string used to delimit each process ID in the output (by
default a newline).  (pgrep only.)
-f
The pattern is normally only matched against the process name.
When -f is set, the full command line is used.
-g pgrp,...
Only match processes in the process group IDs listed.  Process group 0
is translated into pgrep's or pkill's own process group.
-G gid,...
Only match processes whose real group ID is listed.  Either the
numerical or symbolical value may be used.
-l
List the process name as well as the process ID. (pgrep only.)
-n
Select only the newest (most recently started) of the matching
processes.
-o
Select only the oldest (least recently started) of the matching
processes.
-P ppid,...
Only match processes whose parent process ID is listed.
-s sid,...
Only match processes whose process session ID is listed.  Session ID 0
is translated into pgrep's or pkill's own session ID.
-t term,...
Only match processes whose controlling terminal is listed.  The
terminal name should be specified without the "/dev/" prefix.
-u euid,...
Only match processes whose effective user ID is listed.  Either the
numerical or symbolical value may be used.
-U uid,...
Only match processes whose real user ID is listed.  Either the
numerical or symbolical value may be used.
-v
Negates the matching.
-x
Only match processes whose name (or command line if -f is specified)
exactly match the pattern.
-signal
Defines the signal to send to each matched process.  Either the
numeric or the symbolic signal name can be used.  (pkill only.)

OPERANDS
pattern
Specifies an Extended Regular Expression for matching against the
process names or command lines.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Find the process ID of the named daemon:
unix$ pgrep -u root named
Example 2: Make syslog reread its configuration file:
unix$ pkill -HUP syslogd
Example 3: Give detailed information on all xterm processes:
unix$ ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -x xterm)
Example 4: Make all netscape processes run nicer:
unix$ renice +4 `pgrep netscape`
