Sometimes when I modify my .steprc, afterstep will lock my screen. I can't use ctrl-alt-del to kill it either. When I rsh in remotely, I don't have any other processes running, besides my shell. Some weird things about it:
bash-2.00# w 8:43pm up 5 days, 5:27h, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT dpk ttyp0 8:40pm 0:01 0:00 0:00 w bash-2.00# who dpk ttyp2 Jul 8 20:31 (:0.0) dpk ttyp0 Jul 8 20:40 (my.other.machine) With who, I am still seen as logged in on console, with 'w', I am not. Also I noticed the terminal was reset: 155 2 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 156 3 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty3 157 4 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 158 5 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty5 159 6 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty6 16825 1 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty1 <-- high process number Is there a way to fix this problem without having to reboot my machine? I have tried killing all my user processes, ctrl-alt-del, alt-f2-f6 to try to get another terminal... while console still remains frozen.
