Well, kill is an ash builtin, so without the full path, that's what you're getting -- but that alone doesn't explain why it doesn't do its job. (It's unlikely to be an internal ash problem in any case -- ash is a very good shell.)
And as an aside: an old trick for keeping grep from returning it's own PID from a ps listing is to give grep a pattern which won't match itself: Code: -------------------- ps | grep s[q]ueezelite -------------------- Another trick is to use pkill, which is specifically designed for killing processes by attributes other than PID. paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pgf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58510 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113661 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
