That's rather what I was reckoning. I've had signal delivery fail before if all the threads were stuck in kernel code via system calls. This was SunOS 3.x, which shows my age - NFS was kernel-mode at that point, which made for interesting times if file accesses got stuck. Processes not responding to a kill -9 was a new one on me! Might the code have ended up with all threads stuck in OS calls? It feels a little unlikely, as I assume the JVM keeps a couple of threads for itself... - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
