On Linux the killall command does what I need (I am forever doing "killall
diald" - but thats another story - *sigh*). However the little snippet
below just went into my .zshrc - AIX killall doesn't take process names as
parameters.

See - if you watch this list long enough at least 80% of those little
"argh - I must get around to writing that" bits of code will get written
for you!
