Yikes! An Unpleasant Surprise.
So instead of being down for a minute, I was out for a much more
noticeable 5-7 minutes, while I QUICK did an awk of the ps list to
give me the pids and then xarg killed them. My boss asked me if
this was a pink slip notice. :(
Is this The Way Things Will Be? Is there a new way to kill

Can you reproduce this on a test system? They should go away
