I'd think that the pgrep is matching both the processes you want
to kill _and_ the init.d script itself. Try "pgrep -x" which
will exactly match the specified command.
Even better, use "pkill -x -9 my_app" which will combine the
grep and kill tasks in a single command; the -9 specifies the
signal to send to the matches processes.
"man pgrep" for more information on both commands.
