Sometimes a shutdown script just won't work.

This command lists just the process id's for apache

[root@www ~]# pgrep -u apache
6563
6565
9173
9175
9177
9246

[quick@www ~]$ ps -C httpd -o pid= 
 6563
 6565
 9173
 9175
 9177
 9246

Pipe these to xargs

[quick@www ~]$ ps -C httpd -o pid= | xargs kill

Of course you could use pkill as well :-)
