    killproc will terminate programs in the process list which match the name $NAME

    Strictly speaking this is in your case java .

    If it is the only java process you can go and put java in $NAME

    If you run other java services you have to find another way to stop your java process, e.g. putting the PID in the /var/lock/subsys/$NAME file and then killing the process using the pid.

    On at least debian there is a nice tool which helps with this, but I am not sure it exists for
    redhat.
