Bhaskar will probably interject,
but there is a command:
 mupip stop PID
which will do what you want safely.
(kill -9 is considered a last resort by most Unix folks)

so to kill job 9392 you would use:

 mupip top 9392

to find the job (pid=process id) number
you would use in mumps: D ^ZSY 
or in Linux:  ps -C mumps
or the command to find the high CPU users (in Linux) : top
