It's not the right way to do it, though.  Given that you could be
running mpg123 for more than one purpose on a machine, killing
all processes matching mpg123 is overkill (and could be
disruptive to other tasks).  The pid for each mpg123 process is
already stored in a linked-list structure in res/musiconhold, so
you would simply need to look to see if any pids are allocated
within that structure and if so, send a SIGKILL to each of them.
