This is a dangerous script and not really recommended. Make sure you know what you are doing.
I will stick my head out, but claim not responsibility for any damage cause.
The following script is not what you want, but will demonstrate the idea. Do NOT run it as is.
ps -ef |grep "$1" | egrep -v "root|daemon|oracle" > tmpfile
A=`cut -c10-14 tmpfile`
for i in $A
do
echo $i
# kill -9 $i
done
It accepts one parameter (could be the user name etc....) and controlled by the grep "$1" command (if you remove it all processes will be considered).
the egrep is just to ensure we do not kill anything important, in our case root, daemon and oracle processes. You should examine your system and see what else needs to be filtered.
Test your script completely before removing # on the kill. Better be safe than sorry.

zegrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.

egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
