Uninstall processes means to kill the processes. I think u
have confused.
#kill -9 <pid>
pid: process id
#pkill <command name>

Answer / kuppusamy
Through using kill command one can terminate the process
which is running in linux.
One more command also there pkill there.
The main diffference is in kill you have to mention process
ID. In pkill you have to mention the process name.

Hi Rudra85, Your question was not clear. Try to furnishing as per my assumption.
If your looking for stop/kill the process then:
1) 1st you need to find the process PID
# ps -aux | grep <Process name>
Example:
# ps -aux | grep ssh
The OUTPUT as follows
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.0 0.1 2160 636 ? Ss Jan30 0:25 init [3]
root 2 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< Jan30 0:00 [migration/0]
2) # kill -9 <PID>
Example: kill -9 1
Incase your looking for uninstall the package then follow below steps:
1) # rpm -qa | less [Display all installed packages]
# yum -y remove <package>
(OR)
# rpm -e <Package>
