eh? Pid files aren't created for all processes. It's up to the process to create its own pid file if it needs it for something. kill is the only way to kill a process. Deleting a pid file just makes that pid file not available anymore.
Philip is of course right. As root do # ps aux. This will give you a list of running processes with their PID. Identify the PID of the process you want to kill - say it is 1234. Then do # kill 1234.
