RESTARTING PROCESSES

There are times when you are 
testing a process and have to
restart it again and again.

Instead of doing a ps -ef to 
know the pid and kill it manually
every time, you can automate the 
process by using the following in 
a script.

kill `ps -ef | grep \`whoami\` | grep myProcess | grep -v grep
| awk '{print $2}'`

The ps command on your flavor may 
use "ax" instead of "ef".  Where 
myProcess is the process that needs 
to be restarted.  The awk commands 
gets the 2nd field of the line, which
in this case is the PID.
