Linux:
echo -n "Stopping spam daemon. (spamd)"
killproc spamd
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
echo " done"
else
echo " failed"
fi
More generic:
pid=`ps ax | grep "spamd" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ "X$pid" != "X" ]; then
echo "spamd is not running"
else
kill -TERM $pid
fi
Several processes without using killall,
one process at a time
pids=`ps ax | grep "spamass\-milter" | \
grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' | sort -nr | tr '\n' ' '`
pids=${pids% }
if [ "X${pids}" != "X" ]; then
for pid in $pids
do
kill -TERM $pid
done
else
echo "mail-filter is not running"
fi
You'd want to spruce it up a bit.
