[BTM] Cheesy fix for non-syncing Tungsten/T's!

[Martim Weinstein]

I want to try this but using my regular account so my question is how 
do I kill this process in Terminal using my administrator account since 
Process Manager doesn't allow me because it belongs to root?

I guess the question is more for Steve as he seems to be the "Unixy" 
type... ;-)

Thanks.

A hundred percent of nothing is nothing, but two percent of a lot is a 
lot.
