Description
Sometimes when Orbot is uninstalled, then reinstalled, Orbot gets a new UID. If any old @ or @ or left running, then the new Orbot cannot kill them because they are running under the old UID.

Orbot should aide the user somehow. I implemented a notification telling them to reboot. If they have root support, then it should be able to kill anything. I took a quick stab at that.
