telnetd connections not killed

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hello,

I  frequently need to connect and disconnect on  my AM3517 boards console. After some connection and disconnection, I see that number of  running "-sh" processes are increasing as seen below:

Worst of all i cannot kill those processes with "killall -sh" command. I can kill them one by one by their pids but this is not practical.. Is there a way to kill these processes without rebooting the board?

Thanks, regards.
