Sometime I have problem killing all apache processes or PID on a high load web server even though the service has been stopped. One of the quick way to kill all the services is using ps command.

shell> ps ax | grep http
  795  ??  S      0:01.03 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL
 4280  ??  S      0:00.59 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL

16050
16562
19888

use awk command to grab the process IDs

shell> ps ax | grep http | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill

using xrgs command to kill all the process ID we have gather earlier.

This is a handful command instead of killing the process ID one by one.
A clean kill.
