scripting

I am trying to understand how to use awk in scripting and I thought you had to use nawk instead...however, I keep getting errors in my script that I am creatng in order to killa process by its name instead of PID. Script as follows:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter process name that is to be killed: "
read process
nawk -v name="$process" '{kill %$name}'

exit 0



I am really new so if I am doing something really stupidly wrong, I would really appreciate if someone could point it out to me. Thanks
