infinite-loop

I got a PHP script that is looping and will continue to do so for about another hour. How do I stop it. The script explicitly overrides the time out and the memory buffer. It's on a shared hosting server with cPanel installed. The entire website is down until the script completes.

I had added a usleep(100000) statement, but it doesn't appear to work.
