Actually, at release 10+, it should be successful via Windows Task Manager's kill option. UV 10 and higher use detached processes by default, and KeepAlive (for tl_server processes) was added as well. If it really becomes necessary to kill a process that for some reason has ignored its KeepAlive setting (assuming the telnet client has been disconnected from the socket), the kill.exe in uv\bin was updated in 10 to do a better job at killing processes, though it could take a few seconds to come back to the DOS prompt. I cannot recall when it hasn't work at 10.x. When all else fails, download the sysinternals.com Process Explorer and use its kill option. Remember that if you have updates pending, your open files may be at some risk. Regards, LeRoy F.

HENDERSON MICHAEL MR <MICHAEL.HENDERSO To [EMAIL PROTECTED]> "'U2 Users Discussion List'" Sent by: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> u2-users-bounces@ cc oliver.com Subject UNCLASSIFIED RE: How to safely kill 03/09/2004 02:19 a runaway UniVerse (was unida ta) AM process Please respond to U2 Users Discussion List Hmm When I do that on my W2K3 / UV 10 server, the right-button click menu has "debug" greyed out. Is that a UV 'feature', or have I got something configured wrong? I am an Administrator of the server, and I installed UV on it, so I should be fully enabled for this kind of work.

The way I kill rogue processes like this is, on the server, go into task manager. Right-click the process. Do NOT select "kill process", it won't work. Instead, select the other, "attach debugger", option. The process will promptly do a "Dr Watson" and die.
