Thanks Joe, I had forgot about pidof, but you reminded me why I long ago made the wpid alias to begin with so I could kill my user processes as user. You can get into trouble if you kill some processes as root ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

That's exactly what I did, but it didn't kill it. I'd run top, get the PID, exit top, kill it, go back to top, and it's still there. Any idea why? Usually I start with a 'killall app-name' If that doesn't get it done I run 'wpid app-name' to get the pid(s) and then 'kill -9' all the relevant pid's.

Re: Re[5]: [newbie] Backdoor for crashes?
kill actually passes certain signals to processes, and the default is to try to shut it down gracefully (using SIGTERM i think) the short of it, is you can try kill -9 process_id to forcefully bring it down. well, the long of it, for a start is to read up on signals, and the obvious places are man kill man 2 kill man 7 signal - Original Message - From: rikona [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Stephen Kuhn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 02:41 Subject: Re[5]: [newbie] Backdoor for crashes?
