Just a "kill > pidnumer" for each of them or will that harm any cyrus databases? I think killing the way you said (which means SIGTERM) is not a problem. However, it would be interesting to know what those processes are doing? Maybe you could strace them? I think the newer cyrus-imapd versions have some ways to detect not existing clients while older version waited forever, so what's your version?
