To kill the one with the highest pid:

Code:

kill `pidof -s xkbd`

If you want to kill a specific instance you need to store the PIDs as you launch them, $! is the last backgrounded process.

Code:

xkbd & PID1=$!
xkbd & PID2=$!
kill $PID1

You can also store the PIDs in named files if the launch script is separate from the kill script.
