A number of OS also support the -k option to terminate process found. Would that be neater?
Code:
# fuser -k $target_file
It can be dangerous thought to automate killing processes. I have managed to kill process 1 on one occassion. I had trace running to the screen in advance, then after issuing the kill -9 1, the console went very quiet and the phone starting ringing.

kill
KILL(2) System Calls Manual KILL(2)NAME
kill - send signal to a process
SYNOPSIS
kill(pid, sig);
DESCRIPTION
Kill sends the signal sig to the process specified by the process number in r0. See signal(2) for a list of signals.
The sending and receiving processes must have the same effective user ID, otherwise this call is restricted to the super-user.
If the process number is 0, the signal is sent to all other processes in the sender's process group; see tty(4).
If the process number is -1, and the user is the super-user, the signal is broadcast universally except to processes 0 and 1, the scheduler
and initialization processes, see init(8).
Processes may send signals to themselves.
SEE ALSO signal(2), kill(1)DIAGNOSTICS
Zero is returned if the process is killed; -1 is returned if the process does not have the same effective user ID and the user is not
super-user, or if the process does not exist.
ASSEMBLER
(kill = 37.)
(process number in r0)
