how to kill background php thread ?

I created a php script that has ignore_user_abort(true); in it, and it is running in infinite loop... I closed the webpage, apache server and the browser too.. Its running like a armageddon now.. Nothing seems to stop it.. how do I stop it ?? What does it run as (process name) in windows ?? I searched for terms related to php or server or browser.. nothing seems to hit..

How do I "kill" the process now ??

http://www.mywebref.com/Code_Helper/pages/40.html seems to explain this nicely.

SSH into the server

Type in ps x

See the list of processes currently on your server

Get the PID(process id) from that list and type kill xxxxx

That should do it.

Thank you to the guy that posted that by the way. Now I now too. :)

Just to clarify the 'xxxxx' above is the PID! I'd also suggest using kill -9 xxxxx

Just to clarify: all of the above applies to linux

You are welcome :) he he :) anyway, I am not the admin on the server, and I dont have privileges... I managed to do it by restarting the mysql server that the process was accessing :)
