Synopsis: can't kill runaway CGI process - possibly related to #3751 State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] State-Changed-When: Thu Mar 25 13:58:09 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: Hello, Actually, this one is exactly like PR #3168. The problem is that you are running Apache as a Service under the default account (Local System). Since it is Local System that started the CGI, no other user is allowed to terminate the process. A fix needs to go into Apache to change the security settings on the started CGI. As a work around, you can change the "Startup" account that Apache uses to start under to some account that you can log on to. Then, when you need to kill some rogue CGI processes, you can log on as that user and then should be able to kill the processes. I know it's not clean, but at least it's something. :-) I'm closing this one since 3168 is prior. Thanks for using Apache.
