This works, as does John's suggestion of using an IRB but that requires auth and status does not, provided the victim task is one of your own subtasks. However, be VEWY VEWY CAREFUL... "freezing" a task that is in an indeterminate state with respect to resources held, can bring your system to a shuddering halt. There are inadvertent consequences to many things that looked like a good idea at the time :-) CC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
