Hi! I wanted to try out sysutils/htop on 10.99.12/x86_64, looking at how much a process is growing by filtering the process list and only showing that process. That worked fine. When I was done, I wanted to quit htop, but F10 didn't make it exit.
- 'kill'ing the process didn't help. It was still there. - 'kill -9'ing the process didn't help. It was still there. - Not even when I tried it as root. - renice claims it can change the process' priority, but it's was still eating 99% CPU during a bulk build, so I'm not sure how much that helped. 11928: old priority 0, new priority 20 second try: 11928: old priority 20, new priority 20 so it seemed to have an effect. top says: 11928 wiz 25 0 15M 2484K CPU/15 432:48 99.02% 99.02% htop ps -auxwww said: wiz 11928 99.0 0.0 15720 2484 pts/7- O 12:38nachm. 429:43.76 htop I tried attaching to it with gdb, now ps -auxwww says: wiz 11928 99.0 0.0 15720 2484 pts/7- OX 12:38nachm. 433:03.93 htop but gdb doesn't make it process, it stopped at ...

How can I make the process quit? Thanks, Thomas
