It might be useful to add the -a flag to pgrep which makes it print not only the process id but also the command (including arguments). This way it is very easy to verify that only desired processes are matched.

pgrep is not native on OSX, you have to get it from a third party. The previous thread on the topic has proposals and alternatives.

you should redefine kill as a for loop that does kill -i for each i ;)
