Solved : Kill command is not working on linux or Fedora

Many times this issue is happened with me I tried the kill command to stop the process.
But that is really not responding. For Example, following command executed but not worked

[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ ps -ef|grep skype
siwan     3140     1  1 09:50 ?        00:04:46 skype
siwan    13857 13818  0 17:24 pts/1    00:00:00 grep skype
[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ kill 3140

There are really very nice unix commands present in Linux like:

[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ killall firefox

[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ ps -ef|grep skype
siwan     3140     1  1 09:50 ?        00:04:46 skype
siwan    13857 13818  0 17:24 pts/1    00:00:00 grep skype

[siwan@siwank-pc ~]$ kill -9 3140

I specially like the kill -9 processid command. Using kill -9 on a process is like just hitting the power button on your running PC. You already know that powering off a running PC can damage your filesystem because of run-time inconsistent data, why would you do the same thing to your applications? You risk the _exact same_ data corruption.
