to find out what the process is waiting for, do "strace -p $pid" and see if you can make sense of the last line. you may need to strace the app from the beginning (lots of output for something large like openoffice), with "strace -o /tmp/strace.log oocalc", and then skip to the bottom of the log and scroll backwards. (if oocalc forks child processes, and one of them is blocking, you'll need to add "-f" to the strace command line) if you include strace output (no more than the last screen or two), we should be able to explain what it all means. from your description, its likely its a network thing and the cause should be fairly obvious. -- - Gus.verbose -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
