Linux kill process by cmdline (multiple with same name)

I am writing a bash-file (.command @OS X) to easily update a program at my remote server (Linux). I am stuck trying to figure out which PID to kill. I have different processes with the same name, which is mono, since they are executed by mono.

Using pgrep mono I get all the PIDs using mono, however, I only want to kill the process that has the command line SCREEN -dmSL steambot mono SteamBot.exe.

How do I know what PID to kill? Atm, my .command file looks like this:

ssh [email protected]
pgrep mono

I am using ssh-keychain to login also.

like this:

ps -ef | grep '[S]CREEN -dmSL steambot mono SteamBot\.exe' |
  awk '{print $2}' | xargs -r kill
