I've noticed that several (read: all) of my initscripts which use 
killall to end processes like syslogd, klogd, and httpd consistently 
fail, saying "no process killed" strangely. Sure enough, if I try it at 
the command line, it doesn't work.

I can obviously use kill -9 to kill things, but then I need the pid in 
order to include it in an initscript. Busybox doesn't have a command 
line switch to write a pid when something is launched.

How can I kill syslogd and other processes effectively without needing a 
pidfile?
