That's fine for the one process per client case. But I'm talking about
the general case where *one* process handles the connections to many
clients, and you specifically *don't* have a separate process per client.
In such cases it would be very useful to have a command line facility
to kill *one* connection without interfering with the other connections
handled by the same process.
