SHELL automatically kill process from crontab

Question

I have several java processes but only those problematic I would like to kill periodically on every 2 minutes on Centos7.

I would like to kill process PIDs which are run over this command.

/var/tmp/java -c /var/tmp/w.conf

If I try kill using the process ID process is killed automatically.

If I try to run this:

kill $(ps aux | grep 'java -c '| awk '{print $2}')

I am getting result:

-bash: kill: (129253) - No such process

how I should define script and crontab to kill automatically those processes?

Answer 1

Use

pkill -f '/var/tmp/java -c /var/tmp/w.conf'
