You probably still have those files open. I would log completely out as my user, log in as root, go to runlevel 1 (by typing "init 1"), and then go back to runlevel 2 (by typing "init 2") after logging back in. This will restart all your processes. It's kind of like rebooting without losing your uptime. Cheers, Chris
