If the software has a tendency to crash out like that if you kill the thread it won't matter how you kill it as they all do it by taking the legs out from under the thread. The app itself is the only thing that can force the thread to exit gracefully.

Does anybody know a good way that I can kill this process and start it again without causing a stack failure in the kernel? (already experienced that killing a thread a while ago). If anybody knows a good tool to use and possibly where it can be acquired from, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I will have to reboot the DC during downtime, but I don't like it not having protection for that period, I much rather bounce it now.
