Fedora-core applications can't be killed fully from terminal !

[Ankit Patel]

Alex,

Thanks for your reply,

I know about xkill, but i don't want to interact my
GUI (Mouse) to kill any application. If i want to use
Mouse then i can kill application by directly clicking
on the close button.

The thing is i want to kill application fully from
console without any interaction.
