Re: [LIH] forcefully stopping command

[Shridhar Daithankar]

Hi

Use kill -9 or killall from another console or telnet session(OK SSH too...)

This reminds me. Yesterday X froze on my company machine. That's quiet 
regular. Happens twice a month. So I ssh into the machine from other machine 
as root and tried to kill all processes.

What I found that all programs won't shut thmself if I kill startx. I have to 
literally go on hunting and kill each program manually.

How can this be? I thought when a parent process is killed,  a child is 
killed too..

 Bye
