Hi,
I want my shell script to send a user defined signal to a process. I
know that using pidof <processname> I can get the pid of the process
and using kill <sig #> <pid> i can send the signal to the process
whose id is eq to <pid>. How can I do this in a shell script.
The foll does not work -
#!/bin/sh
PD=pidof test
kill 41 $PD
This might be a very simple thing to do but I am beginner at shell
scripting. Would appreciate it if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Ruchika
