mysql_zap kills processes that match a pattern. It uses the ps command and Unix signals, so it runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
Invoke mysql_zap like this:
shell> mysql_zap [-signal] [-?Ift] pattern
A process matches if its output line from the
ps command contains the pattern. By default,
mysql_zap asks for confirmation for each
process. Respond y to kill the process, or
q to exit mysql_zap. For
any other response, mysql_zap does not
attempt to kill the process.
If the -
option is given, it specifies the name or number of the signal
to send to each process. Otherwise, mysql_zap
tries first with signalTERM (signal 15) and then
with KILL (signal 9).
mysql_zap supports the following additional options:
