What you probably want is the following command:

"nsrjb -s"

        -s     Terminates any  savegrp(1)  (and  nsrexec(1))  pro-
              cesses.

This would really be the best thing to do for ALL groups.

Hope this helps

You can do an nsradmin command such as:

print type:NSR group
update stop now: True
