In case you suspect a bug in the Siebel software itself:
You could issue truss -p pid  to collect some information about the system calls the process does and hand it over to your Siebel support person(s) for analysis, if you have a support contract.

kill -9
should do the job, make sure you are killing the parent process, not the chid.
Hi,
What proces is it? can you post the process
you can kill all user process with kill -9
If you know service name, you can use below command to stop the service:
/usr/bin/stopsrc –s <service name>
e.g: /usr/bin/stopsrc –s inetd
