Parent process 1 just means that it's either spawned by init or it's real parent process has died. I wouldn't put any stock in it. Try using "ps aux" to get the process state. Chances are it's in T (trace) state. You can try to kill -CONT it. Maybe strace it. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n.
