Extremely easy. The process variable does exactly that, it records the
process ID. If you wanted to kill it, all you would have to do is something
like this:
process=`ps auxwww | grep q3ded | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ ! -z $process ]; then
echo "Quake3 process found, killing it w/ extreme prejudice"
kill -9 $process
echo ""
fi
Of course, this doesn't work as expected if you have multiple instances of
quake3 running. What you would really want to do is drop it into a for loop:
for process in `ps auxwww | grep q3ded | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
do echo "Quake3 process found, killing it w/ extreme prejudice";
kill -9 $process;
done
This will loop through every process returned that matches q3ded, and kills it
with -9. If no process is found, nothing is killed.
Of course, this is all overkill, since "killall" and "pkill" expect a process
name. killall -9 q3ded would accomplish the exact same thing.
