kick

( v.)

   1.  [IRC]  To  cause  somebody to be removed from a {IRC} channel, an
   option  only  available  to  channel ops. This is an extreme measure,
   often  used  to combat extreme {flamage} or {flood}ing, but sometimes
   used at the {CHOP}'s whim.

   2. To reboot a machine or kill a running process. "The server's down,
   let me go kick it."
