Pkill just searches for all processes of the current user which match the leading pattern evolution and kills them. evolution --force-shutdown kills evolution evolution-data-server evolution-exchange evolution-alarm-notify In this case there isnt much of a difference since you probably dont have any other application called evolution-* which is running but is unrelated to evolution. Its fairly straightforward to see that using evolution --force-shutdown is a much safer bet. Hope that helps.
