The simplest way to modify what you've written is to do this:
/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww | grep app_name | cut -f2 -d' ' | xargs kill
However, I would avoid using /usr/ucb/ps and instead use a ps that
allows you to format the output. Then you can include (and search on)
only the fields you really want. For example:
ps -e -o pid,args | awk '/app_name/ { print $1 }' | xargs kill
