Re: [PLUG] inet won't shut down

[LeRoy Cressy <ldc@netaxs.com>]

kill pid#

some processes cannot be killed without the -KILL argument.  Usint this
option can render your system unstable.  By default kill uses -TERM to
terminate a process which will safely shutdown the process.

Also, you might desire to edit your startup scripts to only start up the
processes that you you desire to have running on your system

I like to do this by using mv some-process No-some-process.  That way
you can always change it back later.
