Well, I tested this using the 'sleep' command (I have precious disc 
space, and 'cp' could have been nefarious), but the following should 
work:

	$ nohup sleep 600 &
	nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'

Okay, nohup has sleep running.  Now figure out what process it's running 
as:

	$ ps -x | grep sleep
	27256 pts/1    SN     0:00 sleep 600
	27260 pts/1    S      0:00 grep sleep

27256.  Kill it:

	$ kill -9 27256

That should work.  If you're in X, a graphical process manager like 
'kpm' should work too.  Just scan the list for the process and kill it.
