Why is mono-service.exe in single AND double quotes? Get rid of the
single quotes.

What is the output from your program?

Likeliest other reason is permissions - are you running the program as
root?

What happens when you do not use the "-f" option?

Try to get the return value of the pkill program; it may have some
answers. And or redirect its output to a file for inspection.

All pkill does is send a signal to a process. You might be better off
locating that process ID (does mono-service.exe set a process ID in a
runfile or similar?) and sending a signal in C++ rather than running an
external program.

This is really a programming question, not an Ubuntu question.
