Dear George,

> Could you please kill my P5748 job on the R.E.D server?

Please try; it should work... If it does not work, yes, i will kill
your job...
simply provide your login (i.e. the email you used to register)
                the password you received by email
                and P5748 as the R.E.D. Server job name

I just ran a job for a user to test a problem he encountered. I kikked
my job without any problem...
