i've got mrxvt-devel-0.5.4_1 on FreeBSD 7.2 and mrxvt is like a zombie machine. i've got hundreds of zombies and they're all owned by mrxvt:
// how many zombies? % ps ajx | egrep -w Z | wc -l 553 // what PID is the parent of those zombies? % ps ajx | egrep -w Z | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u 776 // what process is that PID? % ps x | egrep -w 776 776 ?? S 1:47.13 /usr/local/bin/mrxvt it seems like a good way to generate zombies is try using tab completion (bash-4.0.33, zsh-4.3.10_2). in other terminal emulators that doesn't cause problems. if anyone needs any more info, just let me know. thanks... -- ...atom ________________________ http://atom.smasher.org/ 762A 3B98 A3C3 96C9 C6B7 582A B88D 52E4 D9F5 7808 ------------------------------------------------- "Love all.
