Have you eveer tried to delete the lock file ?
If you kills the netscape process ( or if the process dies )
the lock file could remain ... if you try to start netscape
again, it will find the lock file and it will sometimes refuse
to work properly.

Before killing a process try to get the process ID with the command
ps -aux
If you got to many lines and you are only searching for netsacpe, try:
ps -aux | grep nets
this will show you the process ID of a running netscape task ... you can try
to kill this but don't forget to remove the remaining lock file.

You got the process ID from an example ? Than it is no wonder why the kill
command could not find the process yopu wanted to kill .... try first 'ps'
or better 'ps -aux'

You can send a signal to the process, a '-3' is equal to the 'ctrl C'
command from your keyboard. When this doesn't help on aprocess than you
should try kill -9 id

The good thing about muLINUX: It is small
The bad thing about muLINUX: It is small
To keep muLINUX small they have not installed a proper 'help' or 'man'
command. A full LINUX distribution will have a 'man' ( manual ) command that
provides a good help for everyone who wants to know more about a specified
command.
If you won't install a big LINUX Version I would recommend to buy a small
book about the LINUX ( GNU if possible ) command line set. This will help
you to learn more about the system.
with kind regards / mit freundlichen Grüssen
