NSClient does seem to hang on Windows 2000 occasionally, it doesn't seem
to have the same problem on Windows 2003 though.

I think I used to use pskill from
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsKill.html to kill the process
and that allowed the service to be restarted. Obviously if you've
uninstalled, you may need to reinstall first. You could also use the
Windows native kill program from the W2K Resource Kit.
