try if your linux has the killall command. Syntax just as with kill but
you dont give it a process number, but a process name.
like, 'killall -9 mozilla-bin' (I have that one in my .history... who
guesses why...) would kill ANY netscape6 that is owned by you.
killall -9 java-vm comes to mind as quickly...
