Could someone tell me how I could set up an alias to kill a process
using something other than its number?  Say, for example something like:

alias	noss	???????????

What do I put in the ?????????? so that it kills the sysline in my
processes as follows:  (even if the number is different?)

  PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
19500 v3 S    0:02 -csh (csh)
19731 v3 S    0:00 sysline -Dhr +15

Thanks for the info.

Scott
