So you don't end up killing something you didn't really want to you could do something interactive like this. 

use strict;

open PS, "ps |" or die "$!";
while (<PS>) {
       chomp;
       my @process = split;
       next if $process[0] =~ /[^\d]/;
       print "Would you like to kill the following process?\n";
       print "$_\n";
       chomp (my $ans = <STDIN>);
       kill 9 => $process[0] if $ans eq 'yes';
}
close PS;

Its quick, dirty, and untested but it should provide the funtionality you are looking for. You can have it run out of your .bash_profile or your shells equivalent or just run it manually whenever you want.

Update: I added the next if $process[0] =~ /[^\d]/; line so it doesn't prompt you to kill the header in the ps listing.
