Aborting a greedy querry from the command line

[Scott Haneda]

Sometimes I will issue something, slip of the fingers, and mysql will chew
on it for hours, the best I can do is control-z to get out of it and log
back in.  But, I just learned these processes are still running, and I have
to go in and kill them by hand.

Is there any easy way to abort from the command line and have it really stop
that query?
