For reference, this is the script I use to do this:
---

MYTHEXISTS=`/bin/ps -e | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep | awk '{print 
$1}'`;

if [ "$MYTHEXISTS" != "" ]; then
        for MYTHPROCESS in `/bin/ps -e | grep mythfrontend | grep -v 
grep | awk '{print $1}'`
        do
                echo $MYTHPROCESS;
                kill -9 $MYTHPROCESS;
        done
fi

Works great
