first go to your local bookstore and get one about shellscripting 
or about the bash.

i am not sure if this will work on netbsd, but i think so:

kill -HUP `ps ax |grep <name>|colrm 8`


man ps 
man grep 
man colrm
man cut

i think this commands you got on most unix machines and you 
do not need the ports or another extra programm.

you can take colrm out and fill cut in (with the right switches).
and for the name, maybe $1 or whatever.
