When you use "kill" on a process, "kill" tries to shutdown the process gracefully. That is, it allows the process to clean up after itself before it goes away. However, sometimes (as was the case with "rogue") the process is so messed up that it ignores the signal to die. That's why there is an option to the "kill" command which means "kill immediately". To tell a process to die immediately, type kill -9 PID where PID is the ID of the process you want to kill. Type the command to kill "rogue" immediately.
