Here's a single command which should do the same. It supports cp and dd, but anything else that supports SIGINFO could be added in. ps -A | grep -P 'cp|dd'

This assumes the command supports SIGINFO, but that's a BSD thing. Linux commands don't support that, so this is not a replacement. And did you really just reinvent pkill?
