I sure hope that "/usr/pkg" is not hard-coded in (HINT!).  LOCAL_PREFIX
should be definable.  I don't have a /usr/pkg.  I have a /usr/local.
And, as I've discovered, I'm not the only one who works in this fashion.

Indeed.

Folks, if we HAVE to do this, let's do it correctly?

AND:  What ever happened to 'ps axc | grep ...' so you don't have to
grep -v the grep?

We need to do something to shorten that pipeline.

	ps ax | awk '$0 ~ /afpd/ && $0 !~ /awk/ {print $1}' |
		xargs -n 1 kill

or,

	ps axc | awk '$0 ~ /afpd/ {print $1}' | xargs -n 1 kill

You see, we're forgetting how to do this already! :-)
