A script to kill skype when it gets uppity
Raw
kill-skype.sh
#!/bin/sh
# kill (with extreme prejudice)
# ps -C skype,skype-wrapper -o pid= ==> displays only the PIDs of processes matching skype,skype-wrapper
# run it through sed, which removes the leading spaces, then does a multiline match, removing the newlines
kill -9 `ps -C skype,skype-wrapper -o pid= | sed -e 's/ //g' -e '/$/ { N; s/\n/ /; }'`
