What is the best way to kill a number of PIDs that I've isolated from an external file?
So far I've done grep PID badPids | awk {'print$2}'
to get the list of bad PIDS to kill. I've searched through the man pages to no avail and I need to be able to do it from the terminal line, not a script file.
I know that kill -k will do it, but I'm not sure on how to pass the list to kill.
Thanks.
