```
:!ps axuw | grep vim | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -n
```
## The ps-less way
Credit: @tomnomnom
```
:!kill -9 $(find /proc -name "cmdline" 2>/dev/null | while read procfile; do if grep -Pa '^vim\x00' "$procfile" &>/dev/null; then echo $procfile; fi; done | awk -F'/' '{print $3}' | sort -u)
```
## The ps-less way using status files
```
:!find /proc -name status | while read file; do echo "$file: "; cat $file | grep vim; done | grep -B1 vim | grep -v Name | while read line; do sed 's/^\/proc\///g' | sed 's/\/.*//g'; done | xargs kill -9
```
