GroupWise client killer

My GroupWise client on the Novell Linux Desktop sometimes hangs – so I made a dirty little script to kill it. (Should be two lines of text in total for the script)

#!/bin/sh
ps ax|grep [b]in/groupwise|grep -v .sh|xargs –max-args=1|sed 1q|xargs kill -9

Paste this into a text file – say gwkill.sh; make it executable chmod +x gwkill.sh; maybe make a launcher shortcut on your toolbar.

Did this work for you?

Ottawa

I was in Ottawa the last couple of days.

Another interesting city – all the benefits of a capital (museums, parks, generally good looking and well kept) but in a handy size 😉
