Not sure if I understand the full intent, but you may want to take
a look at `killall`.

Hi,
I want to kill a process by its program name and
command line parameter. In my target system, I am
running the multiple instances of userspace
application. These seperate instances are identified
by the argument supplied to that program.
For example:
/sbin/SomeProg eth0
/sbin/SomeProg eth1
etc..
The SomeProg doesnot keep the multiple instance of its
pid in /var/run file system. It only stores the PID of
the process that is previously spawned. It will
overwrite this value whenever a new instance is
spawned.
I have tried using killall -9 SomeProg eth0.
This kills all the instances of SomeProg.
Is there any method by which by which i can access the
i can get the PID of the application, given the
program name and its commandline arguments.
Please help,
Srinivas Rao.M
