My experience is that the standard techniques don't work! The way I kill rogue processes like this is, on the server, go into task manager. Right-click the process. Do NOT select "kill process", it won't work. Instead, select the other, "attach debugger", option. The process will promptly do a "Dr Watson" and die.
We occasionally get rogue processes hog cpu and the machine grinds to a halt. Being a twin processor, we don't notice if there's only one rogue, but two is nasty ...

Run it without arguments to get the syntax.

They lost the connection to the server, the process id is still out there and we are unable to kill it. We tried the DELETUSER PID command and it did not go away. The process is using 200 megs of memory. We are running Unidata 6.06 on Windows 2000. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
