Is there a way to kill all processes that reside in a given directory

  • 0

Is there a way to kill all processes that reside in a given directory with either a shell or a batch script (not just by name, but by path?)?

E.G.
A directory with

script.sh
myapp.app
dostuff.command

Or one windows:

startup.bat
myprog.exe
saver.scr

would then kill these specific processes, if running.

Should work on 10.5 and up, and on Windows XP or 7.
