How To Kill or Get PID of Panel Lib?

Hi

looking for a simpler way to find a process ID of a panel widget library. The process is libbattery.so, which is the battery monitor applet.

i know i can get the process id with:

ps -ef | grep libbattery.so | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'

but this seems a bit verbose. i would like to simplify.

trying to use these commands, but getting no output. What am i doing wrong?

pidof libbattery.so
pidof /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libbattery.so

the ultimate goal is to kill the process, so it would be preferable to use pkill. But these are not working either:

pkill libbattery.so
pkill /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libbattery.so

thx!
