If you were trying to restart the ssh daemon then why did someone suggest you find the PID number and kill it?

Yesterday I got to work on a SCO6 system installing a backup system. It 
was like using a very old, very odd version of Linux, or perhaps Linux 
is odd and that's more normal. Everything was basically recognizable, 
but oddly different in unexpected ways. I was using putty terminals and 
I never could get the settings right which made everything double the 
pain as none of the special keys worked. Did learn about x/X in VI which 
are handy when the backspace and delete key don't work. Restarting the 
ssh daemon was incredibly difficult. One person advised to find the pid 
and kill it, but I didn't want to kill my session. I think I did find 
the script and run it, but it just gave me an odd command to run. Worked 
when I did it though.

Also, d(movement command). For example, dw to delete a word.

IMHO one of the best things about *nix is that no OS is the same. It is
awkward sitting in front of an unfamiliar system. Initially I always get
this mental resistance if I can't find or figure out something like,
'Argh, f it were only the same as XYZ, grumble grumble...'. But after I
get over that, I start to learn and things get exciting.

Yeah it was very much like that. The terminal weirdness was VERY 
annoying though as I had to type everything exactly right or start over, 
backup was not an option. I was logged in as root and there was no /root 
it just dumped in / (and I ended up configuring .shh in /). There was an 
/etc, but everything in there was a link to something like /opt. It did 
have bash on it. My job was very simple to set up a ssh key so the 
backup server could log in and backup everything (excpt for proc, 
system, mnt and cdrom). Instead of sys it had system. What should have 
been a ten minute job took hours (well two or so).
