[Xastir] Strange question....

[Jason Winningham]

#!/bin/bash
# kill xastir
ps -ef | egrep "xastir" | grep -v grep | grep -v "$0" | awk 
'{printf("kill %s\n",$2)}' | bash
sleep 3
ps -ef | egrep "xastir" | grep -v grep | grep -v "$0" | awk 
'{printf("kill -9 %s\n",$2)}' | bash
nohup xastir&


Note: ps flags may differ from system to system; these suite solaris.  
You'd need -auxw on Mac OS X, for example; maybe -aux for some linux 
flavors.

If it gets noisy (too many emails from cron with the output of the 
commands), add "exec >/dev/null 2>&1" after the second line.

You would probably want some sort of check to see if the user was 
logged in, and probably other sanity checks.  YMMV.
