Nearly no memory is still too much; try: killall netscape, I might work
(think not), if it doesn't help you can do ps aux and kill -9 <PID) EVERY
netscape process, or, as root, slay <USER THAT IS RUNNING NETSCAPE>.
NOTE: By using slay EVERY process of that user will be killed (including
shell, so the user will be logged out), so make sure you have NO open
files you were editing, because not saved data WILL be lost!

Works fine also, I prefer renaming the script name in /etc/init.d, which
also works fine (but is a bit faster).
