Stab it with a screwdriver through its PID?

Seriously kill -9 will work, but the process must be owned by you. The only
other probs i have seen is if you try to kill a tty process or something similar
and it is respawned. Alternatively check out its PPID (Parent Process ID), which
process does it belong to. You may need to kill that instead.
