awk script

 I tried this script and it doesn't work.
 But I finally got this to work,

   CMD='dxclock'
    ME=`whoami`
  PROC=`ps -aux | grep ${CMD}|grep -v grep| \
        awk '{print $2}'`
  kill -9 ${PROC}

Is there any way to ask the user to type in the command that they wish to kill
and then kill it after the entry?
