simple bash piping problem

what would the command be to kill a process, say, of 'oclock' program?
i have got:
Code:
ps x | grep oclock | cut -c 2-5
which lists the PID of the program.. dont i just append " | kill" to it to pipe it to the kill command? or do i put kill first?

You might like to add
Code:
| grep -v grep
to your pipeline to avoid giving kill excessive PIDs.
