grep the process id and kill all the filtered process

Hi

I want to write a shell script which can find the process id's of all the process and kill them eg:
Code:
Code:
ps ax | grep rv_
 3015 ?        S      0:00 /home/vivek/Desktop/rv_server
 3020 ?        S      0:00 /home/vivek/Desktop/rv_gps
 3022 ?        S      0:00 /home/vivek/Desktop/rv_show
 3024 ?        S      0:00 /home/vivek/Desktop/rv_game
 3026 ?        S      0:00 /home/vivek/Desktop/rv_mail

now kill all process searched(find the child process and kill it first and rest).

How do I write the shell script for the above?
