Wild Kill...Yeee-Haaah!!!

#!/bin/bash
ps -ef | grep $1 | awk '{print $2}' | while read pid; do kill -15 $pid; done

Save the script as wildkill.sh, make it executable:

chmod 755 wildkill.sh

and run it like this:

./wildkill.sh firefox

This will kill any process that contains the name firefox...be sure you know what you're killing because this script can be wild!

Yeee-Haaah!
