Subject: Simple Script issue..??
ps -A | grep $1 | cut -c1-5 | grep -o [0123456789]* | kill


WILL NOT WORK.

I want to run the above script "whack" like this: whack kicker
which should kill the process "kicker"
But it chokes at the "kill" part and I do not know what I'm
doing..... and doing wrong :-)

Anybody?
