Kill Processes in Check Point


How to kill process that consumes a lot of CPU? 
In Gaia(R74.40) I came across with several bugs and one of them is unwanted/low priority process consumes a lot of CPU, and cause utilization of the gateway to be increased.

monitord is such an unwanted process, that I came across with. And searchd is an example for a low priority process, sometimes eats the CPU highly.
