Kill processes called by a shell script

[ARH]

Dear all

in the following pseudo shell script how can I kill run_crafty ?

for(( i = 0 ; i < 500 ; i++ ))
	do 
	run_crafty
	done

Is there any other way to call run_crafty in a loop which I can kill the whole loop simpler ?

[ARH]

also I tried

for(( i = 0 ; i < 500 ; i++ ))
do
killall run_crafty
done

but it didn't work and it only kill one run_crafty process and the second process run when all killall command finish.

A very Crooked method is:

while true
do
killall run_crafty
done

[reloadedreiko]

Do let me know whether the above one worked or not????

Have you tried to terminate the for loop (with Ctrl + C) first, then issue the following command?

killall crafty

I believe you need to stop for loop from forking new processes before you can terminate all the running crafty processes.
