Kill Process

It's not the very best solution, but I've used it a couple of times when
I needed to do it quick without to much trouble. Make not I kill all the
processes, on my server px -x will only return like 4 times /sbin/apache
and it's pretty safe to kill them without any trouble.

 * Sometimes, it can happen a script keeps running when it shouldn't, and it
 * won't stop after we close the browser, or shutdown the computer. Because it's
 * not always easy to use SSH there's a workaround.
