Hello all,
I have run into a peculiar problem. A process in one of my servers
has stopped working, but when I kill -9 the pid the process won't go away.
ps axuw | grep nagios
nagios 36818 0.0 0.1 3964 2184 ?? TLs 30Mar05 46:14.69 /usr/ local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
and
kill -9 36818
Well, it won't die no matter how many times I'll try to kill -9 it.
Typically it is stuck waiting for some IO and cannot be killed in that state (happens on nfs for me once in a while for example). Try to figure out what it is waiting for and fix that problem so that the IO will complete
for example "lsof" may help you track down

My uname is

Does anyone have any constructive suggestion on how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance Athanasios
