I tried and got the error:

ps aux | grep chrome | grep -v grep | cut -d ' ' -f2 | kill -9 $(cat $1)
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or
kill -l [sigspec]


I then thought I'd try killall chrome and it works but I have to do killall
chrome twice to get them all to close. I then run chrome again and it asks
me to restore and I get all the chromes back open except the first one that
was killed.

thanks,

Wes
