See what "fuser /dev/video0" (as root) tells you. It should give you a process that have the device open. then you can do a ps -aux | grep <that_process> to see what program it is, and kill <that_process> if you need to. Its a fairly new trick to me, and i've been using Linux for 2 years now :) -- Greg Bell 858-860-6519 _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
