What were the problems ?

It's not escaped. It's backquoted. This means "execute the stuff
inside the backquotes as if typed in at a command prompt and
return the output into the variable given before the = sign".

This variable is an array which subsequently is searched for the
pattern given as the second command line parameter ( the first
is the signal to be passed to the process ).

Actually, I'm gonna improve the scripts a little because the
Linux ps ax provides space(s) at the beginning of each line and
the one of FreeBDS doesn't ( so the numbering is something of an
evil hack ). The solution will be to remove any possible spaces
at the beginning of each line.

killname -15 <your_process_pattern>

Please excuse any rough spots in the scripts. This was a quick
and dirty hack during a test run of qmail ( before I deploy any
Interent installation I test that in my home network consisting
of four machines at the moment. Soon to be beefed up to six
machines. If needed I can even throw eight machines into the
battle. Needless to say most of them are 386's - slow, but that
doesn't matter for such tests. You just need a number of
machines to simulate a real world network. ).
