Unable to kill processes on HPUX

HPUX version B.11.23 as reported by uname -a

Start with default signal I believe is -15
#kill PID
Process still present.
#kill -9 PID
Process still present, even after repeated attempt and waiting.

PPID becomes 1 which is the init process
started at boot time.


So far only way to stop has been to reboot host.

Any suggestions, HP support has been unhelpful.
