lol - just registered on the forum to pass on the info about /kill - but you beat me to it hopbeat

When I've had to use kill on various linux boxes from time to time, i always use
where pid is the process identifier as listed in the output from the 'top' command (I prefer top as it's easier to see which processes are hogging the cpu without the potential need for scrolling through the long list that the ps command can produce.

More info on the kill command here.

I'm still waiting for my n900 (anyday now) - so thanks for the headsup, definitely something to keep an eye out for.

Cheers.
