RE: [newbie] question about mandrake probs..

[Dodd Carlton J MSgt 726 ACS/CSG]

I'm a very-newbie, but the command is kill and the Process IDentification
argument is the number listed to the left of the offending process when you
type "top".  So, if the CPU hog was listed as process 17, you would type:

kill 17


Someone correct me if I am leading this poor soul astray...

i think you should find a better way of quoting commands because that just 
confuses me

should i based on this type
kill the_pid?
or could it be
kill pid

believe it or not some people get lost if you post extra comments into the 
command string, and spend more time on trial and error
