bash script read text file

I am trying to read from a text file that i create using bash

<code>
#!/bin/bash

./apachectl stop
./apachectl start

ps -ef |grep httpd > tempFile

more tempFile
</code>

I want to be able to read the output from tempFile, look for pid and kill that pid using killall -9 <pid>

If it is possible, how?

tempFile

root 8711 1 0 15:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd

nobody 8712 1 0 15:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd

nobody 8713 1 0 15:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
