unable to Kill process

Dear Guru

Accidently one of our team member run around 27k
process with nohup and their parent process id was 1 .

and system load reachs 700 :(

i was unable to kill them with kill -9 OR pkill

i have tried taking the system to single user mode .
but sun cluster doesnt support moving in to single
user mode and it halt the system .

what are some other ways overcome this problem if this
happens again

Regards
