Gotta love the way that this is THE MOST COMMON USE CASE for kill, and yet kill itself doesn't support doing this.
The problem with killing processes by name is that names aren't unique, so you might unintentionally end up killing other processes that share the same name. If you want to kill all processes with a given name, then you can use the "killall" command, which explicitly indicates that you are willing to kill everything with that name.
