| <Balatro> | Electroly: It died on me once and wouldn't restart. I had to ps -aux or whatever the fuck it is and kill the process. Then it started fine. |
|
<Electroly> | ah, nothing good old `ps aux l grep Proteus l awk '{print $2 }' l xargs kill -9` won't fix. |
|
<Electroly> | much better, that worked. |
| |
* Gandalf stares at Electroly |
|
<Gandalf> | And I thought I was a Unix dork. |
|
<Balatro> | Yeah, it was so much less effort to do that then to type a command, quickly see the process and kill it by PID :) |
|
<Electroly> | you are a unix dork |
|
<Electroly> | Balatro: there were like 10 Proteus processes, dude. |
|
<Balatro> | Funny, I had 1 ;) |
|
<Electroly> | dunno where these all came from, but i killed them all. |
|
<Electroly> | now all is well |
|
<Gandalf> | Electroly: I understand ps, grep, and xargs. Explain how that awk thinger works, though? :) |
|
<Electroly> | Gandalf: awk is pretty simple. it treats the stdin as a bunch of columns |
|
<Electroly> | and lets you reformat the output. { print $n } is typical, where n is the column number to print out. |
|
<kurros> | AWK AWK MOTHER FUCKER |
|
<Electroly> | it uses whitespace as the column delimiter by default, but you can change that by some argument to it |
|
<Gandalf> | ah, and in ps aux the PID is the second column, thus $2, right? |
|
<Electroly> | yup |
|
<Electroly> | you can do other stuff with awk, like awk '{ print "Whee! The PID for " $10 " is " $2 "!" }' |
|
<Balatro> | It makes me hot when you talk unix. |
|
<Electroly> | rm -rf /home/Balatro |
|
<Balatro> | That's /homo/Balatro, honey :) |
