Alessandro, As far as I know, you can't. The process (and I stand to be corrected here) is a dead process and doesn't consume any (or at least very many) processor cycles, but usually shows as a load on the cpu (i.e. top will show a load of 1.00 for each dead process). The only way we have found to get rid of dead processes is to reboot. If anyone knows of a way to kill dead processes without a reboot, then I will be very grateful.
