ps command

Kill on its own defaults to a signal 15 trap which is a gentle kill that I
agree is preferable to allow the process time to terminate gracefully.  Kill
-9 is a sure kill which is guaranteed to kill the process immediately or
leave it in a zombie state.

Why kill -9?

ps -fe|grep root
sudo kill -9 xxxxx

where xxxxx is the PID[s] of the process you want to kill.

How would I use sudo to find a process owned by root and then kill it?

Thanks
