If you are running as hostowner you can use Kill (capital K) which chmods the file first:
chmod 666 /proc/868/ctl;echo kill > /proc/868/ctl This will not work for factotum as it marks itself as private, [perhaps this is a bug - private need not chmod of ctl is impossible?] Its not much of an issue as if you kill the users rio then their factotum will lose its stdin and exit anyway. -Steve
