If you want to kill everything related to ros just use:

pkill -f ros

But careful this matches on the command lines use to start all user processes. If a not ros related process contains "ros" this will also get killed. A safer way would be to use:

pkill -f /opt/ros
pkill -f /<path to your workspace>
