Hard is pretty hard; from /usr/bin/killev:

sub kill_exe {
        my ($exe_name) = @_;
        my $lt_name = "lt-$exe_name";
        my $sub_exe_name = substr ($exe_name, 0, 16);
        my $sub_lt_name = substr ($lt_name, 0, 16);

        printf ("killing $exe_name\n");

        $redirect = "2> /dev/null";

        print "$killcmd -9 $exe_name\n" if ($debug);
        `$killcmd -9 $exe_name $redirect`;

        print "$killcmd -9 $lt_name\n" if ($debug);
        `$killcmd -9 $lt_name $redirect`;

        print "$killcmd -9 $sub_exe_name\n" if ($debug);
        `$killcmd -9 $sub_exe_name $redirect`;

        print "$killcmd -9 $sub_lt_name\n" if ($debug);
        `$killcmd -9 $sub_lt_name $redirect`;
}
