Bash script

#!/bin/sh
prcs = pgrep $1
kill $prcs

How do I make a script that does that (my unworking version should show what I'm trying to do)

Is this behavior what you're looking for ?

#!/bin/bash
kill $(pgrep $1)

[edit]
I hope it is not your homework ?

After a man pgrep, I see it's symlinked to pkill!
pkill is what you want!

no need for the script, just "pkill hto" will kill all htop e.g.
