Melvin,

I certainly would not kill -9 the process as kill -9 does not give the 
process the opportunity to clean exit.  A simple "killall slon" should do 
the trick on most linux variants, or you can simply kill `ps -ef | grep 
[s]lon | awk '{print $2}'` which will do essentially the same thing.

You could also run under daemontools or something similar.
