I use awk instead of cut cause I can remember the syntax better.

ps aux | grep zoom | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

You can get rid of those greps, btw:

ps aux | awk '/zoom/ && $0 !~ /awk/ {print $2}'

Or just use pgrep.

grep is everywhere, pgrep is not

The greps were much more legible that this concoction 😅

But I second the use of pgrep. 👌

Better yet, just killall zoom.

May I interest you in the command killall? 😁

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The thing with killall is I can't see what it's going to do first. With the greps, I can look first, kill second.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

True, then I would personally run pgrep first, then killall. 😊
