Well, I expanded killall5.c with a couple printf's: ... int main(int argc, char **argv) { ... signal(SIGTERM, SIG_IGN); signal(SIGSTOP, SIG_IGN); signal(SIGKILL, SIG_IGN); /* Now stop all processes. */ // changes rw printf("now doing kill(-1, SIGSTOP);\n"); kill(-1, SIGSTOP); sent_sigstop = 1; printf("done with kill(-1, SIGSTOP);\n"); ... and the last thing I see on the console is the first printf. Screenshot (thanks to iLO) at http://www.waldner.priv.at/temp/killall5.jpg So to me it seems like "signal(SIGSTOP, SIG_IGN);" either isn't honored, and killall5 itself killed, or else it kills something else essential, but what could that be? Plus, I've discovered 3 other boxen, various DL360/380, with the same problem. Isn't there anyone else with Compaq/HP gear and this problem? cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
