off bigdaemon

off would look like (I'm tired and greasy plus don't have any
manuals with me, so be gentle)
-----------------------
ps -ef (or ax or whatever) > tempfile
grep -ye $1 temp grep -v grep | file2
input file2 data
pud=cut -f1 $data
setuid($pud)
kill -9 $1
--------------

I think that's it.  I think I'd limit who could use it with sudo
or some such.  If you did that, you could skip the set id
and just waste the offending daemon.  Just be aware that the system most
likely will become unstable after doing so.

It might be mistaken for an NT box :)

gotta go change some ball joints.
