Hi All, I need to define the specific duration to run a process. i mean after specific time the process should be killed autometically. plese help me to do this. Thanks.
'man at' will tell you how to use the 'at' command to run a task at a particular time. If you just run something like 'at now + 1 hour' it will present you a shell that you issue your command on: at now + 1 hour warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh at> kill -9 91282 at> <EOT> Ctrl+d gets you out of that shell and saves the job. This job will kill process 91282 in one hour from invocation.
