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.

I'm getting nowhere on this.

[1|user@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]xkbd -geometry +780+65536 -k /media/mmc2/N800/Keyboards/scummside.xkbd & PID1=$!
[1] 8764
[1|user@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]kill $PID1
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or kill -l [sigspec]
[1|user@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]kill 'pidof -s xkbd'
-bash: kill: pidof -s xkbd: no such pid

So yeah, neither suggestion of yours is taking.

Perhaps you overlooked a simple typo?
