P.P.S. I should probably clarify, this is not open to the internet,
it's internal on an intranet, so security isn't really a concern (ie:
no need to worry that someone else will kill the process). I just need
to be able to kill this process without sitting in front of the server
before I connect via remote desktop.

Thanks again,
