Sometimes you want to kill all processes of a service and killall command is not working. For example your proftpd server is not working anymore and you want to restart it but the following commands will not work: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd stop or: killall proftpd In that case you could write a script that will kill every process that belongs to proftpd.
