Thanks all. I was using kill while running top, and at a bash prompt. Repeatedly. That worked sometimes in the past with the same program. But I must have tried it a 100 times in the last 24 hours to kill the same process (enjoympeg). I tried kill -9 at a bash prompt, thanks to the sugg

Have you tried a kill -9 on the pid? That should get rid of it. If you have gtop installed, you can select the process, right-click it, and select "Kill Now" man kill for more info on signals. On Fri, 2003-06-13 at 14:34, lists1 wrote: > What can I do to kill a process that refuses to be killed
