A script to more easily kill apps by name
Authored by: jporten on May 30, '06 11:55:03AM

I keep the following in my .cshrc (tcsh shell):

alias pid "ps -aux -ww | grep"

Ergo:

[AlBook:~] jporten% pid Safari
jporten 16477 5.2 12.0 519208 125708 ?? S 2:15PM 3:41.75 /
Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari -psn_0_2090860545

Makes it very easy to get a PID for killing or top tracking.
