Need help to kill pids

Hi there !!!
I am writing a script to kill the pids on different linux boxes Smilie

the output of my command gives the pids running on that box, but how can I kill all the pids without looping? Smilie

Code:
ssh $i ps -fu $USER | grep ManServer | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | kill

error: Smilie
Usage: kill [-l] [-n signum] [-s signame] job ...
Or: kill [ options ] -l [arg ...]

I tried to dump the output to a file and able to kill the pids using for loop, but looking for one-line code Smilie

ssh $i ps -fu $USER | grep ManServer | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | (how_can_i_kill_here) Smilie

Thanks for the help Smilie

have a good day

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
