i tried kill. hald is invulnerable :(
If hald is in a state where it won't respond to a kill -9 then you have no alternative but to hit the big red button and force your machine to reboot in order to get rid of it. hald shouldn't ever get into that state -- it used to happen to programs using resources on a NFS drive if the NFSserver went away suddenly, and you'ld see lots of 'D's in the STAT column of ps(1}'s -auxwww output. That is about the only way to achieve that effect
I know of, and it shouldn't affect a system daemon like hald though. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW
