[SOLVED] Is there a way to kill processes that are going to be listed after running grep

Issue

For e.g. if we have to check all the glassfish processes running we run the following command:

ps aux | grep glassfish

Now for e.g. it returns 4 processes that glassfish is occupying is there a way to edit the command and store it in bash_profile that it will kill all the processes that were the output of running the ps aux | grep glassfish

For e.g. if I store an alias in bash_profile as killglass then it should kill all the processes that were returned when I run the ps aux | grep glassfish command from the terminal

I am run MAC(Yosemite)

Thanks in advance

Solution

You can use

pkill -f "glassfish"

Instead of ps aux and grep
