If you want to run a cron job to kill :
$ ps aux | grep Herrie
mohan 3992 99.9 0.0 1744 240 pts/0 R 11:55 11:58 Herrie
mohan 4094 0.0 0.0 3780 780 pts/1 S+ 12:07 0:00 grep
--color=auto Herrie
Here is the shell script:
$ cat kill_process1.sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh
process_name="Herrie"
pid=$(ps aux | grep $process_name | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')
if [ ! -z "$pid" ]; then
kill -9 $pid
exit 0
fi
$ ./kill_process1.sh
Thanks
