Well, kill is an ash builtin, so without the full path, that's what
you're getting -- but that alone doesn't explain why it doesn't do its
job.  (It's unlikely to be an internal ash problem in any case -- ash is
a very good shell.)

And as an aside:  an old trick for keeping grep from returning it's own
PID from a ps listing is to give grep a pattern which won't match
itself:

Code:
--------------------
    ps | grep s[q]ueezelite
--------------------


Another trick is to use pkill, which is specifically designed for
killing processes by attributes other than PID.
