Interactive Process Killer for macOS

ps aux | fzf --header 'Select a process to kill' --preview 'echo {}' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I {} kill -9 {}





This one-liner script for macOS provides an interactive way to view and kill processes using the command line. It leverages the power of `ps`, `awk`, `fzf`, and `xargs` to create a user-friendly interface for process management. 

When executed, it displays a list of all running processes in an interactive fuzzy finder (`fzf`) interface. Users can search and select a process, which is then terminated using the `kill` command. This script is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who need a quick and efficient way to manage processes without leaving the terminal.

Usage:
- Run the script in the terminal.
- Use the `fzf` interface to search and select a process.
- The selected process will be killed immediately.

Note: This script uses `kill -9` for terminating processes, which forcefully kills the process without saving. Please use it with caution as it can result in unsaved data loss.

Requirements:
- `fzf` needs to be installed on your macOS system.
