ps -u will list all the processes running by particular user.
ps -u |awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill

Hope this would help.

hi,

You can try:

pidusr=$(ps -ef | grep yogeeraj | awk '{print $2}')
kill -9 $pidusr

or just:

kill -9 $(ps -ef | grep yogeeraj | awk '{print $2}')

hope this helps!

kind regards
