To kill off your server, you will need to log onto kilpinen (using ssh). Once on kilpinen, you can use the ps command to find the process ID number of your server process. For example, you could give the command ps xwww This gets a listing of all the processes I am running: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1067 ? S 0:00 csh -fb .onboot/chain 1068 ? S 9:59 /usr/local/lib/java/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=http://kilpinen.mcs.gac.edu/~max/codebase/ edu/gac/max/movies/ChainImpl 1099 ?

If I want to kill that process, I then just give the command kill 1100 As usual, let me know if you have any questions or problems. -max
