Hi,
I really don't know where to start on this one, and my reply is off-topic,
even if the original post wasn't, so sorry about that.
For the archives: don't "kill -9". Period.
"kill -9" means "I saw someone use this for a different problem, and I wanted
to try it, too. I don't really know what it does or why I am using it. I don't
really care whether things get better or worse, I'll just take my chances."
If you think you forgot your keys, what do you do? "kill -9" is the "break
down the door" variant. More sane approaches might be
- check your pockets to make sure you really don't have your keys with you
- knock on the door or ring the bell. Maybe someone is home.
- call a locksmith.
Of course, breaking down the door always works, whereas the other approaches
might not, so that's what you should start with, right?
I'll skip the details on why this was a bad idea in this instance.
Hope that helps someone.
Regards,
Holger
P.S.: Yes, it might ultimately turn out that you need to break down the door,
but, in my experience, you usually don't break down a *random* door
even then.
