Subject:   killing an application through code
Message-ID:  <20021001165532.97187.qmail@web21109.mail.yahoo.com>

Can anyone tell me how i can kill an application
process through a piece of C code?

i have the realplayer application,which has to be
closed manually with a mouse or using "ctrl-C" or
using "kill pid".
But how can i kill it through a piece of code?
one way is to execute "ps" and then grep 'realplay'
from it and get the pid and kill it.Isn't there any
other way i can do this? isn't there something which
kills from command name like 'kill realplay'?

Thanks in advance,
Vinod
