[1|user@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]kill $PID1
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or kill -l [sigspec]

-bash: kill: pidof -s xkbd: no such pid
The first kill should've worked unless xkbd had already been killed. The second kill needs to use ` instead of '. If you can't find ` then try using kill $(pidof -s xkbd).
