How would you do that?

Wow!  When was the last time you needed to kill a bunch of rampant processes on a unix server?

I needed to do that today this is how I did it:

processes=`ps -ef | grep -i glassfish | awk '{print $2}'`

for a in $processes
do
  if [ $a -gt 5000 ]
    then
      if [ $a -lt 10000 ]
        then
          sudo kill -9 $a
      fi
  fi
done

 

How would you do it?  Notice the nested if statements - this is a much more verbose but yet clearer way to code the if (x > 5000 && x < 10000) which isn't too bad but if you need another &&or an || or two it gets nasty quick.
