it throws an error in regards to pgrep, I believe but it goes by so
quickly I can not read the whole thing.
So not really sure whats going on but even though it does not work
100% properly it gets passed locking up with a red screen or just
with a cursor. If I can sort this out further I will post back the
results and mark this solved.
Thanks again for the help I have gotten so far.
Actually it should be unrelated because afaict you're executing this command
from a terminal emulator which is a child process of the process tree you're
attempting to kill, which leads to a self-reference, which the kernel should
handle okay. So, it likely says "broken pipe" or something that way?
cheers!

Yes was a broken pipe message.
Still trying to sort this out. I have come across something else that I
am not sure about. If I run ck-list-sessions I get
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat2'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-06T23:31:15.440354Z'
login-session-id = '1'
There is nothing being shown in display-device. From what I have seen on
the message boards and other things through google most seem to show
something in there. I am using slim, openbox and .xinitrc could this
maybe be the cause? I have seen people mention with it empty means
console-kit broke on boot, but I could be reading about that incorrectly.
Thanks everyone.
