I had asked about why my kill by name command:
kill `ps -ef | grep csci2_t2 | grep -v grep | cut -f 2 -d ' ' `
didn't work as I expected it to. Several people noted that cut is
probably not doing what I expect it to as multiple spaces can be
interpreted as multiple fields. They suggest I use awk instead ala':
kill `ps -e | grep csci2_t2 | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $1}'`
This seems to work better.
I also received a perl script to kill by name. For now, the command
line thing above is more in line with my needs.
Thanks to all who responded:

and any who's response is still in the queue somewhere...
