Kill a command by name:

ps axc | grep httpd | awk '{ print $1; }' | xargs kill

Look for a command exclude your own grep:

ps auxwww | grep command | grep -v grep

Kill a command based on it’s arguments:

ps axwww | grep port=8889 | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $1; }' | xargs kill

Can this be simplified?:

ps axc | awk '/httpd/{ print $1 }' | xargs kill

ps axwww | awk '/port=8889/{ print $1 }' | xargs kill

But when using the command above we are trying to kill our own awk command!

ps axwww | awk '/port=8889/ && !/awk/ { print $1 }' | xargs kill
