When you post a question it helps us to know what OS you are using. Otherwise we have to guess. Why this is important: some OS have a command like ptree that will display the pid of child processes.
As a guess, let's start here: experiment with the output of this (Linux):
Code:
ps axf -o pid,command
# or
ps axf
Tweak the above until you get something that gives you what you want,
once you find a command that does what you want you can write a loop:
kill $([command that works for you here] | tr -s '\n' ' ')
