Shell Scripts

158 100+
What i need to do is write a shell script that finds the pid of crond and kill that.

All i need to know is how to set a variable with the result of "pidof cond" and kill that variable.

Hi, try something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. CRON_PID=` pidof crond ` 
  2.  
  3. echo PID of crond is ${CRON_PID}
  4.  
  5. kill ${CRON_PID}
  6.  
Regards, Bernd
