Since I'm just basically a newbie myself, I couldn't tell you exactly
what your problem is, but I might be able to help. The -a option to ps
displays all the processes that have a controlling terminal, and
-x displays all the ones that don't have one (such as daemons started at
boot-up). To display all the processes running on you're system, type:
ps -ax (you might want to add "| more", as there are a lot)
Then find the process you want to kill and type:
kill [process-id]
Good luck,
Chris
