I would like to schedule mplayer to record a radio station's online feed but can't figure out how to stop process. In Linux I was able to use killall mplayer. But that doesn't appear to be an option under OpenBSD. What do I need to do?

man (1) pkill

To kill all mplayer processes:
     pkill mplayer

To match on the full command line:
     pkill -f "mplayer someURL"

pkill/pgrep are good stuff.
