how to reactivate sleeping nessusd threads which appear to be hanging

Subject: how to reactivate sleeping nessusd threads which appear to be hanging
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 11:31:13 +0100
How can I reactivate theses nessusd threads, or stop them so the scan 
can finish.
SN stands for S=interruptible sleep N=low priority

I'm doing a scan and the first part has finished (13 IPs done) but these 
ones (4 of them) don't seem to do anything anymore, for over an hour now.
