Kill is the last resort to obliterate a process that isn't responding to anything. It is not a signal that goes out to the process. It is a signal used by the system to tell the system (not the process) to kill the process. If you could trap SIGKILL, then it wouldn't work right and you could write unkillable processes, much like Windows. We definitely don't want to do be like Windows. -- Alberto Treviño BYU Testing Center Brigham Young University -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
