Pkill just searches for all processes of the current user which match
the leading pattern evolution and kills them.

evolution --force-shutdown kills
evolution
evolution-data-server
evolution-exchange
evolution-alarm-notify

In this case there isnt much of a difference since you probably
dont have any other application called evolution-* which is
running but is unrelated to evolution.

Its fairly straightforward to see that using evolution --force-shutdown
is a much safer bet.

Hope that helps.
