To kill a process in linux the command is

kill -9 <process-id>

EG: kill -9 3085
the above command will kill the process id 3085

But, to kill a particular process you have to know its process id..
use the following command to find the process

ps -aux | grep <processname>

for example to find the firefox process use

ps -aux | grep firefox

this will diaplay some processid's kill those id's using kill
