Another opportunity to plug killall(1M).  The script becomes:

    killall ical
    /usr/sbin/ical
    echo "sh /usr/people/schuman/bin/cal_update" | at 0500 tomorrow

If you don't want to dispatch ical with prejudice (killall delivers
SIGKILL by default), use

    killall -TERM ical

Kill(1) and csh's builtin namesake deliver SIGTERM by default.
