Description

Yesterday playing with Haiku I've discovered there isn't a pidof (and consequently) no a pkill equivalent, too.

I think can be useful and I've a sort of "stub" code already created... it is simply a native Haiku application that interrogates BRoster to find the tid (pid) of process that has that name. Having pidof, pkill can be done with a little scripting some like:

pidof $0 | xargs kill
