If the processes all have the same name, you can use killall [NAME]

How can i kill all of these processes? Do I have to do a recursive kill based on the pid and ppid of each process? Is there something like a group process id killing which will kill all the processes? Thanks in adv. Siva. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
