    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`

    pkill -u root shero
