Os x UE process status

I have started a process that cannot be killed. This is an EyeTV app, and here's what ps aux says:

cb0 87583 1,0 3,4 812796 144236 ?? UE 21Nov09 2638:11.45 [.....]/EyeTV

The state of the process is really strange since I have never seen a UE before. Manifesto tells me

U stands for Uninterrupted Standby Process

E means the process is trying to exit

But I can not kill the process. Any idea how I can make her come out?

Additional Information: None of the following statuses worked:

  • kill -S KILL
  • kill -S QUIT
  • kill -2
  • kill -9

Have you tried using

 top

to get all the active processes and then

 kill(PID)

Where will the PID refer to the EyeTV process ID passed to you from above? Also (and I'm not sure if this works two, but it is possible), you can try

 kill(pid,SIGTERM)

which sends a completion signal to the process (however, it is used in C programming to kill the process, so I'm not 100% sure that it will work outside the programming language, but it's worth a try)
