Back when I was young and needed the money, I used 'kill -9 -1' to, uh, remotely log myself out on occasion.... the -1 pid represents every process you own, aside from 'kill'. That's probably not related to your situation, (since -1 is a valid HUP signal) but it *is* something to look out for. Don't get the parameters mixed up, in any case :) --Rogan _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
