I need to rebuild the database and I'm trying to do this over Telnet rather than serial. How do I quit the player application via Telnet, obviously CTRL-C or 'q' won't do it?

I tried ps au, it returns a number of instances of "/empeg/bin/player" and killing the busiest one of those causes the player to restart. Am I close?

Send it signal 2. That is, "kill -2 <pid>".
