kill the PID not the process name.
There is killall to kill processes by name.
right, yeah I forgot to be clear.
the PID is indicated in both kill and ps -e
I have used killall before.

Oh, and I learned about a program/command called "strings" which
displays the content of binary data in a shell or terminal... I might be
slightly incorrect in my description, but more or less cannot print
binary data to the screen; you need this "strings" program. This I think
comes built in.

I learned about a program/command called "strings" which displays the content of binary data
"strings prints the printable character sequences" of a non-text files, as the manual says. So, not what is in binary.
Ah, well, I suppose you expect me to say that that is what I meant.
However, thank you.

Wow! 'ls -R' is awesome - that's a great tip.
