Hi, I have a server with some processes that are running away and they won't die. How do I stop them? I used:
ps axf to see the forest for the trees. procmail was fired off by sendmail to filter some SPAM. I can stop sendmail but procmail won't stop. Killall procmail doesn't work. Killall -9 procmail doesn't work. Killall -9 -v procmail sayes it is stopping procmail but it lies. kill <procmail's PID> doesn't work. When I rebooted the server last night utilization was over 119. Normally it's closer to 0.1 or 0.3. This morning before anyone logged in, it is just over 31.0. This started the middle of last week.
