kill a process by the pid

I have a daemon named: shero

I can use the following command to get the pid:
pgrep -u root shero

So, is there a one-line command to kill it? something like:
kill (pgrep -u root shero)

What's the exact expression?

Thanks in advance.

 

Try this:

Code:

kill -9 `pgrep -u root shero` 

 

man pkill.
pkill -u root shero
