Hi Bob, thanks for the reminder, but I didn't receive any message from Alan, could you re-post it? Maybe it went to Spam. Is there any web version of this bug tracker? At work they're blocking the access for all the emails. Kind Regards, Rafal Sent from my iPhone On 30 Sep 2012, at 07:40, Bob Pr

Yes, I've tried and it didn't QUIT (it ignored SysRq signal). I didn't know about Ctrl-4 shortcut for sending the QUIT signal. After that I had to kill the process, because Control-D didn't work. So I'm assuming it's by design. Thanks for your help. Kind Regards, Rafal Sent from my iPhone On 30

But if Control-4 is sending QUIT signal, why: Control-1 does kill the process? I've checked again and actually it's not even about the number. When I press only: Control-SysRq it kills the process as well. Sometimes it happens on press, sometimes on release. Kind Regards, Rafal Sent from my iPhon

Hi, Thanks for this info. Just to explain why I press it with Control and Alt. My Linux freezing all the time, so sometimes I'm using kernel SysRq for the reason. So in example if I want to check all currently held Locks with SysRq-D (which doesn't work anyway), so: When I press SysRq-D, I've KSnap

Thanks. Without Control more things are working. Alt-SysRq-m and other letters works, doesn't kill the process. So the only problems are numbers: Alt-SysRq-1 to 9 (exempt 5 & 6) is killing the process. Looks like 5 and 6 have some special privileges. Kind Regards, Rafal Sent from my iPhone On 1

When I typed 'ls -l *chr4*' in linux, it gave me this: bash-4.1$ ls -l *chr4* ls: invalid option -- '4' Try `ls --help' for more information. It used to work for me, why? Thanks! Wei
