As was already said, put the command in a file (say called kill-hrishy),
like so:
#!/bin/sh
ps -ef| grep $1 | awk '{print $1}'| xargs kill
#### End of File
make file executable, then run from the command line as follows:
kill-hrishy <processname>
Exactly what the difference between this and killall is is beyond me
(except that ps -ef will output very different information depending on
what platform you're running on).
