Thanks the info.

With "-s 9" still nothing happened too.

There wasn't any error messages after running killall gnomeradio.

What is "-s 9"?

With kill you are able to send various signals to processes (you can find all available signals with "man 7 signal").
With no further arguments, "kill PID" sends a SIGTERM signal to process with id PID. This signal can be handled in any way. With signal SIGKILL you actually _kill_ a process (no cleanup etc.) - "kill -9 PID" (as well as "kill -s 9 PID") send the SIGKILL signal to the process.

It is also possible to specify the signal for killall, archiving detto by "killall -s 9 processname"
