The choice of the name 'killall' for the Linux version was unfortunate.
Maybe 'killbyname' would have been better (the original, natural kill could
be aliased to 'killbynature'). I used to carry a shell script
similar to the ps|awkish answers others have posted which I called 'namedkill'
to kill processes by name not by process id.
