 Yesterday playing with Haiku I've discovered there isn't a pidof (and
 consequently) no a pkill equivalent, too.

 I think can be useful and I've a sort of "stub" code already created... it
 is simply a native Haiku application that interrogates BRoster to find the
 tid (pid) of process that has that name.
 Having pidof, pkill can be done with a little scripting some like:

 {{{
 pidof $0 | xargs kill
 }}}
