It looks like there's a pager (probably less) that's waiting for you to respond. The output suggests it's showing you the results of diffing an old file with a new one--could be either /etc/devd.conf or /etc/usb.conf. > from ps -ax -d: > > PID PPID STAT TIME COMMAND > [snipped] > 1339 1338 R 0:06.58 | |-- /usr/local/bin/X :0 -auth > /home/tomdean/.se > 1341 1338 I 0:00.01 | `-- /usr/local/bin/xterm -j -sk -sb > -sl 1000 -f > 1342 1341 I 0:00.01 | |-- twm > 1343 1341 S 0:00.07 | |-- xclock -digital -update 1 > -geometry 230x3 > 1344 1341 I 0:00.01 | |-- /usr/local/bin/xterm -j -sk -sb > -sl 1000 > 1354 1344 Is+ 0:00.02 | | `-- tcsh > 1363 1354 I 0:00.01 | | `-- /usr/local/bin/xterm -bd > red -cr red > 1365 1363 Is 0:00.01 | | `-- su > 1366 1365 I 0:00.01 | | `-- _su (csh) > 1368 1366 I+ 0:00.00 | | `-- script /tmp/mergemaster > 1369 1368 Is 0:00.01 | | `-- /bin/csh -i > 1371 1369 I+ 0:00.05 | | `-- /bin/sh > /usr/sbin/mergemast > 2423 1371 I+ 0:00.00 | | `-- less And this confirms it. So you'll probably want to examine the changes in the script(1) output and then quit the pager. I would also recommend running mergemaster in single user mode to avoid this sort of thing. X11 complicates things an awful lot. -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren
