Force close a bunch of apps on a mac in an ugly way

close-programs.sh

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

# Brute force kill a bunch of apps when you have let your Mac get a bit carried away.
# Source this from your ~/.zshrc, then run `cleanup_running_procs`
# e.g., save this to ~/bin/close-programs.sh, then in your ~/.zshrc
# source ~/bin/close-programs.sh

# List out some apps in a file at ~/bin/killable.txt you want to close.
# List is case insensitive and is based on a grep match (so can just be part
# of a name, eg 'word' for 'Microsoft Word')
KILLABLE_APPS_LIST_FILE=`realpath ~/bin/killable.txt`

# List the full path to each running proc on this system
get_running_procs() {
 ps -ef | awk '{for(i=8;i<=NF;i++) printf "%s%s", $i, (i==NF?"\n":" ")}'
}

# To filter down to just app names:
# You could use this to generate a list of killables to put in killables.txt
# get_running_procs | egrep -o '[^/]+\.app'

# Iterate through each line in killable.txt
cleanup_running_procs() {
    while IFS= read -r line; do

        #echo "$line"
