Useful scripts for listing and killing kde4 binaries

[David Faure]

For linux developers not using a separate user to run kde4 programs:

Assuming that your kde4 prefix(es) have "kde4" in the name, you can use the scripts below
to list and to kill kde4 binaries.

cat list-kde4-binaries
#!/bin/sh
ls /proc/*/exe 2>/dev/null | while read f; do
  link=`readlink $f`
  if echo "$link" | grep -q kde4; then
     pid=`echo $f | sed -e 's/[^0-9]//g'`
     echo "$link, pid $pid"
  fi
  if echo "$link" | grep -q valgrind; then
     echo "$link - WARNING, valgrind running"
  fi
done

cat kill-kde4-binaries
#!/bin/sh
ls /proc/*/exe 2>/dev/null | while read f; do
  link=`readlink $f`
  if echo "$link" | grep -q kde4; then
     pid=`echo $f | sed -e 's/[^0-9]//g'`
     echo "Killing $link, pid $pid"
     kill $pid
  fi
done
