It looks like you have processes from a previous session (all PIDs starting with 8) as well as those from the current session, starting with 1, which were spawned by 1114. Linux systems have been reported previously to have problems in shutting down slaves - to be sure, modify your init script to issue a pkill to all mimedefang.pl processes as part of the stop section: pkill -9 mimedefang.pl Best Wishes, Paul. __________________________________________________ Paul Murphy Head of Informatics Ionix Pharmaceuticals Ltd 418 Science Park, Cambridge, CB4 0PA Tel. 01223 433741 Fax. 01223 433788 _______________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
