Not at all a solution to your problem, but maybe a workaround. Most distros (that I know of) start at least a few virtual terminals at startup that you can access by pressing ALT+F1, ALT+F2, ALT+F3...ALT+F6. Switching to a different virtual terminal may save you a reboot. You could log in and kill the process (killall pine). It should work, even if you're running X. Alternatively, you can kill (or restart) X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
Of course if your computer is unresponsive to any and all keystrokes this won't work. :-P HTH, Curtis On Wed March 31 2004 15:55, Andrew Graupe wrote: > You may have read my earlier thread about gentoo and sendmail.
