[NTLUG:Discuss] kill a process

[m m]

All:

As a web developer i always to use php to develop my "software application".
now I need to send an email alert on a regular basis.
What I did is use php to create an email alert "web page".
It works but I have to close/quit the "links" manually.
I am going use cron to run "links" to invoke the page.
I expect the process "links" will hang on there after the email send out.
How do I kill the process after it done?
I can get the pid by "pidof links"
i know kill --- kill PID
How do I
kill "pidof links"?

please help, thanks
