POSIX ps can list (only in sessions, due to a known bug, SR 4701-426643) and
POSIX kill can kill any pid under the same security provisions as file
access: AM can access anything in the same account, SM anything on the
system. So mgr.apache or server.apache can kill the pid of the Apache httpd,
even though the process is running in another job's process tree.

Also if a process hung you had to kill the whole tree, although didn't
someone say that now the Posix kill command could now handle the
termination of a process in another session's process tree?
