jps.sh

alias jps  ='jps -lvm'
alias jpsk9='jps | fzf --reverse -m -e -i | cut -d " " -f1 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null'
alias jpsk ='jps | fzf --reverse -m -e -i | cut -d " " -f1 | xargs kill    2>/dev/null'

Thanks! I didn't know about jps and this is awesome <3

I also just learned about it a few weeks ago :)

i like it

I've based a version of this, it includes the working directory (which is useful for distinguishing sbt processes running in the background):

jpsk() {
    jps -l | awk '{
        # run pwdx for the first column, write the output to `wd`
        cmd = "pwdx "$1
        cmd | getline wd
        close(cmd)
        # pwdx prefixes the working directory with a pid, like "1234: /home/john", we remove it (modifying `wd` in-place)
        sub("[0-9]+: ", "", wd)
        # then append wd to the jps output
        print $0  " [" wd "]"
    }' | fzf --reverse -m -e -i | cut -d " " -f1 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null
}

Fancy 😉
