Implementing a process kill utility in the vi editor

[karlywarly]

Hi guys my apologies if something like this has been asked already.

Im trying to create a menu driven system in the vi editor to perform some administration tasks and i would like to be able to kill a process of my choice and im a bit clueless with the code i need to implement for it to work. I have so far been able to create this but im not sure where i am going wrong:

echo "enter process id"
read pid
ps -eaf | grep $pid | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9}'
echo "do you want to proceed?"
if [ "$reply" = "y" ]; then
kill
else
echo
fi
echo "hit the enter key to continue"
read junk;;

If there is anyone out there that would be able to help me in anyway then that would be greatly appreciated

echo "enter process id"
read pid
ps -eaf | grep $pid | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9}'
echo "do you want to proceed?"
if [ "$reply" = "y" ]; then
kill
else
echo
fi
echo "hit the enter key to continue"
read junk;;

isnt that supposed to be
kill $pid
