You might try opening a terminal window and log in as super user, then
enter "kill all -9"
which should terminate all process's.

no it doesn't:

dbdev2:~ johnson$ sudo -s
Password:
bash-3.2# kill all -9
bash: kill: all: arguments must be process or job IDs
bash: kill: (-9) - No such process
bash-3.2#

The kill command HAS to have a process ID explicitly listed.
