Er, no. To be pedantic and accurate, you should kill the process started
first. Given that PIDs wrap around from high numbers back to low numbers,
that doesn't always mean the lowest. (It might seem to be the lowest on
a relatively little used personal system that's rebooted daily, but you
cannot guarantee this expectation in all circumstances.)
Without knowing much about amuled, could you reliably use this? -
kill $(ps ax | awk '$6=="amuled" && $4=="R" {print $1}')
