How do I kill a daemon?

[ombra]

I'm running Slack 7.1 and trying to make a PLIP connection to another box.

I need to kill the 'lp' mod and the lpd daemon.

rmmod lp takes care of the mod but I can't figure out how to kill the daemon.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated. :)
Help a brutha out. :D

There are a few things you need to do to kill a daemon. First, find 3 vestal virgins - this is the important part. One must be a blonde, one must be a brunette, and one must be a redhead with green eyes. Then you must locate the Amulet of Yendor - its somewhere in the catacombs being guarded by a sphynx...


Actually, as root, do

kill <pidoftheprocess>

You can find the pid by doing

ps awx | grep lpd

Thank you! I knew I had to get the process id but I couldn't figure out the command.

Thanks again
