NAME
       pgrep, pkill - look up or signal processes based on name and other 
attributes


NAME
       killall - kill processes by name


Though the way I've always used pkill makes it more or less identical to 
killall, I admit.  I've always just said "pkill," probably because I learned 
that Linux verb first.  :)
