What's the 'kindest' way of using kill? I'd like to be able to stop and restart apps remotely. As they'd be apps that are running OK in the first place, a way of letting them exit gracefully would be good.
Distribution: Slackware (mainly) and then a lot of others...

Rep:
How do you kill the process. I use htop to kill a process. Then there is the long way of using ps -e and then looking at the id and then killing the process.
However a process once killed should stop running after a few seconds.
There's your problem, right there! CTRL-Z sends the process to the background, it doesn't terminate it. To stop processes like more, less, and so on, just type q to 'quit'. That's all.
