Did you try something like pkill instruments ? Unfortunately I don't have a mac to test it.

If you don't have a running process named instruments you can use the top command to find the correct name.

You can push and pop a timeout on your tests and if it fails, throw an exception. The script will stop running and if you're using the command line, everything will stop. Now, if you really want to kill the Instruments process running at the end of the failure; just put everything on a simple shell script with killall "iPhone Simulator" at the end.
