Kill process in swift

Question

I am trying to make a Mac application that will automatically close a code designated application running on the OS. I am trying to use killall (like in Terminal). Whenever I try to run the program, I get, "sysctl: unknown oid 'killall'".

Here's my code:

let task = Process()
    task.launchPath = "/usr/sbin/sysctl"
    ///usr/sbin/sysctl
    task.arguments = ["killall","iTunes"]
    let pipe = Pipe()
    task.standardOutput = pipe
    task.standardError = pipe
    task.launch()
    task.waitUntilExit()
    let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
    let output: String = NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) as! String
    print(output)

Thanks in advance!

my 2 cents: You succeed in killing "iTunes" only if You Xcode App will run with SandoBox DISABLED

All examples on stack overflow about Process are misleading as they call "ls" or "echo" that are always executed ad in system folders.
