OK, then here's a question.  Let's say you have some process (like a
screwed up xdm) that prevents you from logging in and killing it.  Your
modem is hung up, you forgot to run a getty off the serial port, so
there's no way back into your computer.  Is there any way to kill a
particular process (you can certainly list them!) from the db> ?
