How to terminate process by name in UNIX
kill -9 `ps -ef | grep process_name | grep -v grep |
awk '{print $2}'`
Note that the grep process_name should be the command that
you ran. Also note that the commands after 'kill -9' are
enclosed in backtiks.

Answer / vinod b
kill -9 uses SIGKILL signal which should not be used
because its forcible killing ,it cant be blocked or cached .
kill -15 PID will be suitable .else use killall pid as
explained in an earlier ans. kill -15 is a Termination
signal(SIGTERM)
