I'm interested in killing the script by name. I can get the script name with the jobs command as I run it in the background. However, I apparently can't kill a script running in the background by name; only a process by name. It's not difficult to find the script(s) by name and then kill them with a script. I hoped for some obscure command to so, but worse things have happened.
