I have to kill Netscape when it hangs alot so I created a script called
/bin/goodbye

#!/bin/sh
#
for i in `ps -auxw|grep netscape|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`; do kill
-9 $i ; done

This works for me.

Or, you can replace the "netscape" with "$1" and then just run the
script from the command line using ANY service name like this:

$> goodbye netscape

The word netscape would be recognized as $1

#!/bin/sh
#
for i in `ps -auxw|grep "$1" |grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`; do kill -9
$i ; done
