No sense messing around with all THAT, either.
man killall
DESCRIPTION
Killall kills processes selected by name, as opposed to the selection
by pid as done by kill(1). By default, it will send a TERM signal to
all processes with a real UID identical to the caller of killall that
match the name procname. The super-user is allowed to kill any
process.
Just a thought, from somebody who ifrst discovered killall on the Apple OS X
Server list when Mike Bartosh deconstructed my own elaborate construct that
got replaced by killall lookupd. :^)
