Force a process being killed?
Hi. I'm trying to stop a process from running. Its as follows;

traveler 743 95.6 0.5 5144 2628 ? R 02:29 908:43 vim Links/User/Page.pm

As you can see, its almost using all the processing power.. so it needs to be stopped. I've tried;

kill 743

... but that doesn't seem to do anything (doing a `ps aux` still shows the process as being active).

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could stop this process?

TIA
