Daemon trouble

Just for the record:

root@london:~# kill -9 29831

-bash: kill: ispcp_daemon: arguments must be process or job IDs

You didn't had the daemon running. The process shown here is the "grep" process itself (that had obviously already finished when you did try to kill it), because you did get this output in return of a 'ps -fe | grep ispcp_daemon' or something similar
