Did you try "kill -9"? an ordinary kill sends a signal to the process asking it to kill itself. If the process is hung, this may not work. With the -9 option, kill tells the kernel to kill the process, without giving the process a chance to clean up. If this fails (and I have seen it do so on rare occasions), there's something seriously wrong, and a reboot is definitely in order. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
