terminal 1:
tmux new

terminal 2:
address@hidden ~]$ killall tmux
tmux: no process found

I haven't looked into the core of shepherd, but I think
it should try to kill the process by processid:

terminal 1:
address@hidden ~]$ pidof tmux
29611 29609
address@hidden ~]$ kill 29611

terminal 2 (the "tmux" is still from when I started it):
address@hidden ~]$ tmux
[server exited]


I hope this helps.
