This is on a current woody system; but I think the problem was introduced in an upgrade that was part of potato. See below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ps eax | fgrep more | cut -c1-80 23483 pts/4 S 0:00 more /etc/passwd 23488 pts/9 S 0:00 fgrep more [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# killall -HUP more [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# kill -HUP 23483 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ps eax | fgrep more | cut -c1-80 23483 pts/4 S 0:00 more /etc/passwd 26267 pts/9 S 0:00 fgrep more [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# killall -USR1 more That is, I started more /etc/passwd on pts/9, HUP will not kill it, either using killall or using kill -HUP pid. Obviously, control-c does not work either. Any ideas? Jim
