My script... make it stop!
Silly me, I wrote a script that uses setInterval() to call a function that causes the LEDs to flash a repeating pattern and then dropped the script into the autorun folder. Now I can't get into the Cloud 9 IDE. Can someone help me stop this script from running?

Re: My script... make it stop!
Use `ps ax` to get a list of all processes running on the system. Along the right-hand side of the listing will be the text string by which the process was executed, and your script's name should be there.
The number all the way at the left side of the line is the 'Process IDentifier' (PID) which the OS uses to keep track of the process.
Once you have that number, use `sudo kill -9 PID`, where 'PID' is the number from the appropriate line. That tells the OS to shut down that process immediately and without any negotiations.
