NAME

       mysql_zap - kill processes that match a pattern

SYNOPSIS

       mysql_zap [-signal] [-?Ift] pattern

DESCRIPTION

       mysql_zap kills processes that match a pattern. It uses
       the ps command and Unix signals, so it runs on Unix and
       Unix-like systems.

       Invoke mysql_zap like this:

       shell> mysql_zap [-signal] [-?Ift] pattern

       A process matches if its output line from the ps command
       contains the pattern. By default, mysql_zap asks for
       confirmation for each process. Respond y to kill the
       process, or q to exit mysql_zap. For any other response,
       mysql_zap does not attempt to kill the process.

       If the -signal option is given, it specifies the name or
       number of the signal to send to each process. Otherwise,
       mysql_zap tries first with TERM (signal 15) and then with
       KILL (signal 9).

       mysql_zap understands the following additional options:

       o  --help, -?, -I

          Display a help message and exit.

       o  -f

          Force mode.  mysql_zap attempts to kill each process
          without confirmation.

       o  -t

          Test mode. Display information about each process but
          do not kill it.
