mkill syntax

mkill [-h|?] [-z] [-q] [-c <ConfigFile>] {-p <Var>=<Value>}
[-n <cellName> | -n @Host[/Port[#Key]]]
[-l <HomeLocation>][-v] [-s] [-i UserID[/Password][@Host[/Port]]]

If you do not specify a cell to stop, this command stops the default cell, Host.

You must use the -ncellName  option on multiple cell hosts.
