Just guessing here but I suppose the k stands for kernel. Is that's true then it's a kernel process/thread which cannot be killed from userspace. This also means that it doesn't take any resources. There's some similiar discussion on this list concerning some other kernel process. IIRC Civileme said that newer version of ps/top will handle such processes and not show them.

Gregor Gregor, You guess right! Upon further investigation, I think it is a kernel process, and it can not be killed. I acts a bit buggy but I will keep an eye on it, and see what happens. drjung -- J. Craig Woods UNIX SA -Art is the illusion of spontaneity- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
