And be careful with 'killall' on non-linux systems, by the way.
Specifically UNIX boxes (NCR unix, Solaris, etc.)

Here's the top couple lines from 'man killall' on a linux box:

NAME
       killall - kill processes by name

Here's the top couple lines from 'man killall' on a Solaris 10 box:

NAME
     killall - kill all active processes

I ran 'killall perl' on an NCR UNIX box a few years ago, not knowing
that - took about 4 hours to bring the system back up and running. Oops.
