A quick question for someone: a process running as root can't be killed by kill PID. How do I kill it?
Sure it can - you just have to be running as root when kill it. Some programs trap and ignore signals, so it may a 'kill -9 PID' which can't be trapped) to do it but normally you want to use a less drastic signal first to give it a chance to exit cleanly. The only thing that should keep the kill -9 from working would be a process that is hung waiting for a device driver operation to complete.
