    You shouldnt be killing any process without knowing exactly what it is doing, if the server restarts, then all existing processes would be closed, so you shouldnt have a problem when the server restarts. I would be more concerned about why you have a blocking process after the server has restarted. can you post any information on it, the process in master might be down to a database recovery/integrity check.

    Is there any thing listed in the sql logs or windows event logs.
