Hmm.... actually, If you read my post you would see that I am against using kill -9. This was brought up in a thread a while back and I have taken the advice, what made you think that I meant otherwise? I called it "taboo"
If you had no problems using reload, fine consider yourself lucky, I have had the same problem on 2 different Debian VPS servers, the processes stack up to 5 or 6 instances and the CANNOT be killed normally, I posted about this a while back, and no a single person had an answer to this. Starting the server normally without reload allows normal kills on. P.S Voltron has a real name, but you could call also call him Raideen though, Optimus would be pushing it :-)) On May 31, 9:34 pm, Christoph Haas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, May 31, 2007 at 12:00:38PM -0700, Mike Orr wrote: > > On 5/31/07, Christoph Haas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You may argue whether "kill -9" is a good idea or not.
