Process killer is a PHP script that you can run as a cgi to kill a list of process. Better than running "ps -aux", check the pid and then kill it ... this script can help you to automate this task.

this is a nice script, i mean it shows people how to use php as a shell script rather than a web script however i would still prefer to do kill -9 <pid> personally
i want to make sure the correct process is killed ;)
also i dont see how it can do much i mean it`s either kill -9 <pid or ./script <process name> not much different.

the difference in this script is that you can use it if there is many process launched with differents pid ! so in this case u have to kill em one after one ... you see ?
But with this script you can just kill all process with different pid but related to the same app. And you can keep the $debug = true; to be sure that the pid was killed.
