Killing processes over 90% CPU usage

[lhg1]

Hi

I have some rouge processes that I want to preform an action on.

I can catch the processes. But I want to kill them if they are above 90%

ps -ef|grep telnet|grep -v grep
test      1340342    1361850 99.9 09:02:05 ??          26:14.86 telnet
test      1361863    1335038 99.7 09:02:04 ??          26:18.01 telnet

I could put then into a variable an then run throu them, what I was wondering was if there is a way to set it up in one line?

Regards
Lhg

Try

kill $(ps -ef | awk '/telnet/ && ! /awk/ && $4 > 90 {print $2}')

A little testing is advised!
