Hi guys, I need help creating one simple command,

what I want to do is kill all httpd procceses at once,
so if I do "ps -ef|grep httpd" I get 5 or 6 httpd proccesses

I want to kill them all, so all other processes stay, only httpd goes away, normaly if you do one by one you can use the pid , but I want to do it in one command.
like for example :
"ps -ef|grep httpd|kill -9 httpd but this does not works"

Please help.

it lists every pid of process
or You can try killall command
