There must be some way to kill a process regardless of its state. For what it's worth, you might do better to try "kill -HUP" a process first, then "kill -TERM", before resorting to "kill -9" (aka "kill -KILL"). Using less than maximum force gives the process a chance to notice it is supposed to go away and shut down more cleanly. This may help. However, if you do get a process stuck which won't go away when you kill -9 it, consider doing a "ps axl" and see what it's WCHAN is stuck on. (BTW, be sure you can discriminate between a zombie waiting for a parent to reap it's exit status, ie, "STAT" is "Z"...) -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hmm. I built from the port as well, but I excluded java on the make command line. There was an optimizations flag and I turned that on as well. How much memory have you? I'm running 768MB with an athalon 1GHz machine.

It should also be noted that I tried to kill -9 it with no effect. Looks a bit locked up waiting for something. pciconf tells me I have this graphics device: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:0: class=0x03 card=0x2030161f chip=0x35828086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82852GM/GME/GMV/PM, 855GM/GME Montara Integrated Graphics Device' class= display subclass = VGA If I see this happening again I will run ktrace on it and see what I get. Slightly unrelated but another bug I just noticed today. Outline numbering does not save properly unless you save as a windows doc file. The bug is documented and should have been fixed for 1.1.4. Maybe it will get updated on the next update.

open office freeze
hi all... i've been waiting for long time to start using open office tested it a long time ago on linux but didn't have enough patience to install it on my freebsd laptop. well finally - after 4 - 5 hours build of java ports and 12 hours (on a 2.2ghz laptop!?!?) of build of the oo-1.1 port i got it installed. the setup program went without any issues. then oo starts fine but when i try to do a new document - any kind - it freezes so bad that even after the machine is synched and ready to go down it won't let go and i have to pull the plug it happens when i try to create a new document. i tried the other menus and they were all fine. i start it as my user - not as root... there isn't anything in the logs and as far is i can see there are no cores dumped now i'm not sure what to do to make this install usable machine is a 2.2 ghz thinkpad, freebsd 5.3, jdk 1.4.2, Xorg and sawfish.. what now? thanks... -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
