I want to be able to terminate a
process that belongs to the user that i know the name
of.

I'm assuming you mean the name of the process... you can kill a process by name from the command line with the killall(1) command, but this doesn't do it very cleanly.

Programmatically, you could iterate through the process list with GetNextProcess(), check the names with CopyProcessName(), and send a quit AppleEvent to any matches. This lets the app deal with unsaved files and exit gracefully.

HTH,
David.
