What does this prove? Not really a convenient method, since it is equivalent to a reboot.

Oh yes that would have made totally sense. Unfortunately it happened around 2 AM in the morning, so I just executed the steps in your mail without thinking too much. The good news is still that nothing had to be killed extra, so no total zombie.
