    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Why? These are resources that belong to the process in question and should not be manipulated in this fashion. If you terminate the process, its resources, including open file descriptors, will be returned to the operating system, closing the files in question.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
