After a process dies its details are left around in the process slot so that its parent can use the wait() system call to collect this status. Otherwise, it's consuming no resources and isn't a problem. All it means is that the process has not yet been waited on. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Try moving off NT easily. You can move from Solaris to HP/UX to AIX or DEC easily-- relative to moving off of NT, which is like a Roach Motel. Once you check in, you never check out. - Scott McNealy, Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list This mail was processed by Mail essentials for Exchange/SMTP, the email security & management gateway.
