  Ok, well if it isn't the terminal server thing, it's probably still perms.
Administrator has lower privs than SYSTEM, so can't necessarily kill SYSTEM
tasks (depending on ACL etc).

  Try the 1st scenario (daemon as service), then fire up a sysbash shell, and
see if you can ps/kill the children from that.  If it works, you'll know its
perms.

    cheers,
