[Balatro] Electroly: It died on me once and wouldn't restart. I had to ps -aux or whatever the fuck it is and kill the process. Then it started fine.
[Electroly] ah, nothing good old `ps aux | grep Proteus | awk '{print $2 }' | xargs kill -9` won't fix.
[Electroly] much better, that worked.
* Gandalf stares at Electroly
[Gandalf] And I thought I was a Unix dork.
[Balatro] Yeah, it was so much less effort to do that then to type a command, quickly see the process and kill it by PID :)
[Electroly] you're a unix dork
[Electroly] Balatro: there were like 10 Proteus processes, dude.
[Balatro] Funny, I had 1 ;)
[Electroly] dunno where these all came from, but i killed them all.
[Electroly] now all is well
[Gandalf] Electroly: I understand ps, grep, and xargs.
Explain how that awk thinger works, though?
:)
[Electroly] Gandalf: awk is pretty simple. it treats the stdin as a bunch of columns
[Electroly] and lets you reformat the output. { print $n } is typical, where n is the column number to print out.
[kurros] AWK AWK MOTHER FUCKER
[Electroly] it uses whitespace as the column delimiter by default, but you can change that by argument to it
[Gandalf] ah, and in ps aux the PID is the second column, thus $2, right?
[Electroly] yup
[Electroly] you can do other sutff with awk, like awk '{ print "Whee! The PID for " $10 " is " $2 "!" }'
[Balatro] It makes me hot when you talk unix.
[Electroly] rm -rf /home/Balatro
[Balatro] That's /homo/Balatro, honey :)
