killproc and loadproc are functions which exist in the file: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. This functions file is sourced (or loaded) by these two lines: . /etc/sysconfig/rc . $rc_functions which are present in all the relevant init scripts. If you want to find a processess id why not just type 'ps -A' to show you all the running processes? There are other methods too - like killing all processes with the name "name"...
