1-telnet to the remote machine (or otherwise get to a remote shell on 
that machine)
2-type: ps ax <Enter>  This shows a list of running processes.
3-Look for the process you want to kill and note its process id on the 
left.
4-type: kill -s 9 <process-id-here> <Enter>
5-do ps ax to check it's no longer running.
