 8.14 `mysql_zap' -- Kill Processes That Match a Pattern
 =======================================================
 
 `mysql_zap' kills processes that match a pattern. It uses the `ps'
 command and Unix signals, so it runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
 
 Invoke `mysql_zap' like this:
 
      shell> mysql_zap [-SIGNAL] [-?Ift] PATTERN
 
 A process matches if its output line from the `ps' command contains the
 pattern. By default, `mysql_zap' asks for confirmation for each
 process. Respond `y' to kill the process, or `q' to exit `mysql_zap'.
 For any other response, `mysql_zap' does not attempt to kill the
 process.
 
 If the -SIGNAL option is given, it specifies the name or number of the
 signal to send to each process. Otherwise, `mysql_zap' tries first with
 `TERM' (signal 15) and then with `KILL' (signal 9).
 
 `mysql_zap' understands the following additional options:
 
    * -help, -?, -I
 
      Display a help message and exit.
 
    * -f
 
      Force mode. `mysql_zap' attempts to kill each process without
      confirmation.
 
    * -t
 
      Test mode. Display information about each process but do not kill
      it.
