Dear Oracle of Linux, How Does one get rid of dead processes, like root 8940 0.0 0.8 1552 344 ? D Oct26 0:00 smbumount /home/pax/war2 root 9001 0.0 2.2 1872 860 ? D Oct26 0:00 smbmount //Mos Eisley/warlog /home/pax/war2 I tried kill -9, nothing... I did a kill -l to see what signal process option I might have to use to get rid of them, and can't figure it out, man kill gives me no idea.. and they have been dead for more than a day now. It means I can't mount a log file directory on my box, which is needed for a script I have running. Also... I have edited the slocate script in cron.daily to exclude my directories mounted on my win98 machine, but it still doesn't leave them out. *I have been getting errors mailed to root about them for ages, so after fidgetting round added those directories to the exclusion list*. But as i say, its still not leaving them out, how do I get cron.daily to read in the new slocate file??
