Single gateway or cluster environment?

Side note this hardware/software combination is EOL please consider upgrading if it is a production system.

If its what I think it is, you can do ps -auxw command, find PID for process you wish to terminate and then issue kill -9 PID. So say procedd ID is 12345, you would do kill -9 12345

Note that it's really easy to accidentally set up a network topology which sends management traffic through the firewall. If your ability to connect to the members depends on the cluster working, you won't be able to connect to restart services remotely. Make sure you have some sort of backup plan in case your access to the members is cut off when both are stopped.
