thanks for the advice it worked now after some tests I have come to write this code
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo python3 main.py &
sleep 5
pidlist=$(pidof python3 main.py)
echo "$pidlist"
read FIRST __ <<< "$pidlist"
echo "$FIRST"
mem=$(ps -p "$FIRST" -o %mem)
echo "$mem"
set -- $mem
memory="$2"
while true;
do
  sleep 2
  echo "$memory"
  if (( $(echo "${memory} > 20.0" | bc) )); then
    echo "killing process"
    sudo kill "$FIRST"
    break
  fi
  sleep 2
done

I can correctly take the right pid of the process I would like to kill, but the sudo kill "$ FIRST" command does not seem to work and upon exiting the script, typing htop on the console, the process is still alive.
Also if I type sudo kill #pid directly on the console this command works and kills the process

NAME
xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files SYNOPSIS
xsil2graphics [options] <xsil_file> DESCRIPTION
Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com) or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results graphically. Matlab To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command: bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil or bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil Then at the matlab command prompt: >> data_file Scilab To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command: bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil Then at the scilab command prompt: --> exec('data_file.sci') OPTIONS
-m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option) -s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file -o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file EXAMPLES
bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab AUTHORS
