Looking for a script to force quit all user apps. We are seeing some issues with some apps being open when they get an update causing issues.
Page 1 / 1
I use this code. It's killing only things in /Applications so modify as necessary.
#!/bin/sh
Force quit all non-essential applications
declare -a killPIDs
killPIDs=$(ps axww -o pid,command | grep -v bash | grep [a]pplications/ | grep -v /bin/sh | grep -v [c]asper | grep -v [j]amf | grep -velf Service | grep -v [m]cAfee | grep -v [v]ZAccess* | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}')
Kill said processes.
for i in ${killPIDs[@]}
do
echo "Killing PID $i"
kill -9 $i
done
exit 0
