Sometimes even -9 won't clean up a process, but I forget what it takes to get in one of those situations.
Have a program read from an NFS mounted file that is "hard" mounted and lose the NFS server. It will be blocked on IO until the NFS server comes back. I've been bitten by this enough that I use "soft" NFS mounts now, but it means I can lose data if the NFS server goes away. Toss of the coin. -- Michael O'Keefe | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Live on and Ride a 03 BMW F650GSDakar| [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | I like less more or less less than |Work:+1 858 845 3514 / | more.
