script to kill related processes
hi guys,
can anyone help me out with the script to kill all the related process at once.

i have something like below
ps -fu

UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
xyz 17398 1 2 Dec30 ? 00:31:20 ./psa_mux -simulate -client_ports 22000
xyz 17399 1 2 Dec30 ? 00:30:31 ./psa_mux -simulate -client_ports 22001
xyz 17400 1 2 Dec30 ? 00:31:04 ./psa_mux -simulate -client_ports 22002


i have some 20 process like this and i want to kill all of them instead of copying the process IDs to kill them.

will the below line work???

PID=`ps -fu xyz | grep ./psa_mux | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
kill -9 PID


some ideas guys!!!!!!!!
