Please note that all of the suggestions in the duplicates should work as long as you also use the -9 with them. So pkill -9 -f ruby will work as you expect. As will killall -9 ruby.

| Jun 12, 2018 at 21:07 | comment | added | user1130176 | @Kusalananda if i a do a ps -A|grep ruby and then run pkill or run killall, and then do a ps -A|grep, the rubies are still there. however, if i do the manual script ps ax | grep ruby | cut -f1 -d' ' | xargs kill the rubies are gone. i know that killall and pkill SHOULD work but they don't. as for this being SO, its the same platform that incentivizes the same self-elevating policing that SO does so i have the same disdain for this site's flaggers as i do SO's. | |

@user1130176 You mention in a couple of comments that "pkill/killall does not work". Could you elaborate on that? pkill works well here, and I know that killall work too, so there must be something in your usage of these utilities that is making them "not work". Also, this is not StackOverflow.

| May 16, 2018 at 2:34 | comment | added | user1130176 | Reckless marking of questions as duplicates is self-elevating and does not add value. The linked question does not answer my question, and I still do not have an answer to my question. This is why I hate stack overflow. It rewards trigger happy moderators who like to feel the power of putting other people down to make themselves feel good and leaves people seeking help, like me, with no solution. | |

If you indicate that you've read the linked duplicate question and still feel like you want a specific answer to your question, simply edit the Question to say all that; that your Question is not the grep error, but to achieve the kill behavior your want. Ranting against well-intended members of the site is not a good way to use the site.

From the duplicate, An alias should effectively not (in general) do more than change the default options of a command. It is nothing more than simple text replacement on the command name. It can't do anything with arguments but pass them to the command it actually runs. So if you simply need to add an argument at the front of a single command, an alias will work. That's a long way of saying "you can't use $1 in aliases". You'd have to read between the lines just a bit to realize that $1 for your grep is empty, which is why grep is complaining.

@user1130176, why do you need to "bashify" killall (or pkill)? You can just use it directly to serve the purpose you describe! Or if you want to avoid having to manually provide the -r option then alias superkill='killall -r' is all you need.

| May 13, 2018 at 13:15 | comment | added | user1130176 | pkill and killall do not work. i do a ps -A|grep ruby after trying both and the processes persist. manually doing the killall command does, but i can't figure out how to bashify it | |

Also killall (only in Linux!!!) do what you want
