IIRC, <defunct> means that the child is dead, but the parent hasn't 'wait'ed for the return value. On exit, a process is reduced to it's exit value and will remain a <defunct> process until the parent calls wait. Or if the parent dies, too, than init will wait and this will happen at once. > Did you experience this? Once they are <defunct> I can only kill > them with a reboot.. Kill the parent, that should help. Dischi -- My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked, and it's price competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Freevo-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel
