2) how do i get kill or bash to realise its an expression?

Is there any reason not to use 'killall xine'?
That's how I do it ususally...

'pkill xine' is better if you have a new enough version of procps, since
'killall' does ... let's say surprising things on System V-ish variants
of Unix.

Hi,

A more general solution would be :

<produce list of pids to kill> | xargs kill
