Well, a reboot is a bit drastic.  You can 'ps -ef' to find the job number
of the smgr.  Then kill it with 'kill -9 <jobjumber>'.  This should make
the date and time area of the screen go to dots.  Then restart it with
'smgr'.  Nothing magic about smgr, it's just a smarter cron, and it gets
started by the /etc/rc shell script like a bunch of other things.
