mysql_zap kills processes that match a pattern. It uses the ps command and Unix signals, so it runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
Invoke mysql_zap like this:
shell> mysql_zap [-signal] [-?Ift] pattern
        A process matches if its output line from the
        ps command contains the pattern. By default,
        mysql_zap asks for confirmation for each
        process. Respond y to kill the process, or
        q to exit mysql_zap. For
        any other response, mysql_zap does not
        attempt to kill the process.
      
        If the -
        option is given, it specifies the name or number of the signal
        to send to each process. Otherwise, mysql_zap
        tries first with signalTERM (signal 15) and then
        with KILL (signal 9).
      
mysql_zap supports the following additional options:
