I started psyBNC but forgot to set an IP (>_<) and now I can't kill it. I type kill <pid> , it doesn't say anything, but the process is still there!

You should read the manual of kill, if sending the TERM signal doesnt work then send the kill signal (-9).

PS: I have seen enough people repeating my advice.

There are two kill commands:
1) /bin/kill
2) the built in kill function of the shell (bash).

Check out the man page in:
1) "man bash" for the built in kill
2) "man kill" for the actual command line kill.

Try using the kill; while specifying a signal and you should be able to kill the process.

try kill -9 process / pkill -9 pname
